I purchased a set and got a bit frustrated as the screw slots are not very deep. It was hard to get the screws to track straight and seat the plastic spacers. I ended up taking each one to the bench, pre-drilling the holes deeper and pre-threading them before actual installation. BTW, the screws in the fastening set from W&N are NOT retrievable with a magnet so if you drop one during installation, have a small child on hand.

or be warned to put a sheet of plastic over the engine to catch the screw(s) when you do drop the little bits
W&N should put 7 in the pack to allow for a learning curve. One may argue, if you can't handle this, send your car to Mario to finish!
I use a standard queen sized bed sheet draped over the engine bay - I have always dropped at least one screw!
Great tips! Mine are anxiously waiting to go on the car.
Have only a small amount of bit showing from the chuck so you don't drill through and through.
