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.

Installed mine this afternoon, yes one of the holes line up on the hood brace, but I drilled through mine the first time. (its a little tougher than the rest)

If you only drilled one hole so far, how can it not line up.

(I positioned the tower brace where I liked it, then I pre-Drilled one hole with a 3/8 bit, installed the nut thingy and bolted it on. Then i pre-drilled the rest of the holes. The final hole will have to be larger than 3/8, i just used that size to pre drill them.)

Pretty simple install for not coming with any instructions.
