Fixing that after the holes are drilled is a bad afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSnug the fasteners down in a cross pattern rather than cranking one corner tight. An uneven pull twists the frame, and a twisted frame makes the spool drag every time you wind. Go back over the hardware after the first week of driving, since road vibration will always find the fastener that was not fully seated. If you are mounting into wood or thin sheet, put a plate or large washers on the back side so the load is not carried by four small holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is in this listing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mount kit only.
