If there is any tab left, (i assume your talking about the ones that connect to the grab bar.)  drill a hole in some part of the left over tab and use wire ties to tie them to the tabs on the grab bar.

The plastics that I bought for the front of my rappy the tabs were busted off (even though the guy said they werent)

I ended up drilling 2 small holes in them oni each side and zip tieing them to the fender mounts.

If ya can't duck it F :mad:CK it. Just kidding, on the plastics I have now I just used zip ties like Krandall. May not look the best but who's going to stick there head under there to see how pretty it is anyhow?

A little afro-engineering! Did they hold together pretty good? Mine are just as tight as bolts. :)

yea the hold real tight, i used a thinner sized zip tie. Encase i flip, so it doesn't rip the hole i just made with the zip tie:)
