I broke one of my bolts so I just tapped a new hole. Worked good and was quick/easy. If you really want to ghetto rig it you could just use wire to hold it on too I guess :rolleyes:

Just get some self-tapping bolts from Crappy Tire. I broke the heads off my license plate bolts, drilled 'em out and then used teh self tappers. Worked great.
