I tried today to install mine and what a PITA to get that 1 hole drilled on top of the strut bracket rivet! Even after an hours worth of drilling, removing the hood strut tube, and breaking 3 drill bits, I manged to drill the hole and install the rivnut. Only problem it, it was NOT at the correct angle and now the hole does NOT line up with the bolt ;(

Very disappointed with myself with this install. I now have a brace I can not install. :(

Any thoughts? I did not attempt the other 3 holes since I could not fasten the 1st one.
