Cause i think mine will only come with the bracket and the Cover. if i have to believe the picture:
Let me know when u start making the hooks, i gladly pay u for it if u can make 2 of both.
I have another cover that is complete installed on my car. I'll be using that as an example to copy.
You will also need the adapters that screw into the bulkhead and the two cover frame mounting screws that screw into the bulkhead adapter.
The bulkhead is tapped M16x1.5 thread, 5/8-18 could be used instead though I guess. The button head screws that screw into the bulkhead adapter are 12mm again 1/2-13 or 1/2-20 could be used. I'll be making the adapters as well. The OEM adapters are use to cut the thread in the bulkhead, this could be done but a tap would be easier to do than make the adapter a thread cutting tool as well.
I plan on making the adapters out of socket head cap screws, which will have to be drilled and threaded inside, the head is about the correct height and drilling and tapping the thread inside should not be too hard. I may have to anneal the bolt to make it easier.
The cover can be installed using the OEM instructions (click) available for down load on this site.
