Rich,

On my 3, (a 58), the top of the over-riders are secured to the body with a 
chrome stay. All I did was get a 1/2 inch longer bolt and bolted both the 
home-made bar and the over-rider stay to the over-rider on both sides. The nut 
on the top of the over-rider was welded at the factory.

The only drilling I had to do was to the badge bar.

I believe the bolt is a 3/8 24 but I could be wrong.

The 4 was not as easy due to the front opening hood. The badge bar is much 
lower and is secured to the bumper using home-made brackets secured using the 
license plate holes. What cannot be seen is 2 angle brackets behind the bar 
that hook onto the rear of the bumper to offer some stability.
