iv got my f28 box here and its not been in a nova so needs drilling/tapping
does it matter how deep the holes go..?

deep enough for the bolt to tighten properly through the mount. As long as it doesnt bottom out will be ok

practically measure the bolt once the spacers are on and drill it to that then or near as

Drilling for Taping is a delicate game.. you need EXACT sized bits etc
