 Now that the spat is temporarily fixed in the right position, you can start drilling the
holes. To find the correct hole positions we can use the mounting plate holes as a guide.
Draw a line directly through both upper mounting plate holes and extend it 10mm past
the edge of the spat. From this point measure 10mm down and mark with a pen. Repeat
now using the lower mounting plate holes as a guide and measure 10mm up instead of
down.
 Once the holes are marked drill them with a 2mm drill piece.
 Remove the tape and the spat. Using a 7mm drill piece you can open up the holes in the
aluminum mounting plate, being careful not to drill to far and hit the brakes.
 Inset 4 nutserts into the holes. Run a 5mm tap through the nutsert to clean up the
thread.
 Open up the remaining holes in the spat to 5.5 mm and mount the spat with the provided
bolts from the outside in.
