Raised air intake

any body fitted a one of these from rlp 4x4 on fleabay now as I see it the 2 brass inserts fit into the intake and the threaded bolts screw in from the inside of the wing but were does the other self tapping bolt fit there is no template so they say just got to mark wing now to do that I would have to drill plastic out of intake then you would see the brass inserts from the outside also if the bolts fit from the inside of wing why is there countersunk holes on outside for bolts to fit in or am I looking at this completely wrong contacted them they say they don't provide instructions and got no help.

how I see it the bolts go in from the outside, I reckon the inserts are rivnuts in which case you would need a rivnut tool to fit into the wing. What I would do is drill out the plastic offer up intake to where you want it drill the wing then use maybe 6mm bolts and nyloc nuts. Guessing the piece of angle fits on the windscreen panel pillar and the intake bolts to this aswell.

I'm only guessing here mate as I've never fitted one

Are you sure that the brass inserts aren't actually rivnuts that fit into the wing and the bolts then got through the intake into them?

It puzzles me sometimes, I'm asiuming those pics are there sales photos, why would a company think that it's acceptable to put photos of a ripped and chewed up gasket on there website to promote the product.

I hope yours arrived in better condition than that.
