Default Hemi hood scoop braces HELP?????

Can anybody tell me how the vertical braces at the mouth of the scoops are fixed? I am going to run a bolt through a piece of stainless tubing. Do you just drill through the top of the scoop or should i glass in a couple of nuts and bolt from the bottom. How do you guys with hemi scoops do it? I need help ASAP as I am going to install these braces this evening. Let me hear it!!!! Thanks, --Neil

I drilled through mmy scoop, and I used round head stove bolts. I made spacers out of conduit. I used a total of two bolts. I have been running it for three years without any trouble. My car has a trap speed of 114mph. If you run in the 120 range or higher you may want to use a couple more bolts.

I used 7/16 carage bolts and slipped a piece of 3/8" brake line over the threads.
