    Great thanks, I did see that some people put on brackets then the boards do you think I need those or I’m just good with some bolts

    I think you just need bolts and washers. Put a little anti-seize on them since those are prone to rust in that area.

    They are m8-1.25, IIRC. Just did this one my 2011 dclb. I had to run a tap through half of the holes. They still had the plastic covers , but the threads rusted none the less. Do not force the bolt in if it doesn’t want to go; easy to cros thread rusty threads and ruin them. Best to run a tap through or thread chaser.
