If you go back to post #124 you'll see what I did. We used a 1/4" self-tapping screw with an air ratchet. We put a small piece of aluminum tape around it to help hold it in place.
Even then it was a PITA to get it done. We first put down some painters tape, made marks where we thought the holes should go, then used a tool (not sure what it's called) that would make a punch when you pushed on it hard. That was the starting point. We then used the 1/4" selt-tape to make the holes....backing them out when done.
Once both wholes where there we put the resevior on with the same screws. You only get one whole per screw if your lucky. It's too dull after one hole to do the other.
