hella 550 mounting (again)
still pissing around with these things.. I see that there's a pre-drilled hole under the bumper that shows the bumper metal, but I don't think I can reach where the nut would have to go behind that.. can anyone think of a way to use a molly screw or pop rivets to mount these things in that place? it seems like the perfect location.

Drill some holes next to it with a hole saw so you can access it with your finger and hold a nut and lock washer in place as you thread in the bolt. Use threadlocker also and maybe one of those 90 degree bend wrenches to reach in and hold the nut. When you're done, see if you can find a cap or grommet to fill the hole and it would look pretty slick (not that anyone would ever see it).
