You will need to run a self tapping dolt into the under side of the cowl I would assume. It looks like a PITA.

Yes that STB is a huge PITA, more so when you have to dig in to the motor and have to get past it.

And yes back in the day some people claimed cracked windsheilds from the stupid 3rd point mount. Probably why you don't see hardly any other brands with that 3rd mount.

Peace,
Craig.
