    I used something that Yosh2000 suggested in his write up called Permatex RTV gasket sealant to attach the shroud to the projector. It worked great! The bolts did not come with the projector. I got them at a hardware store and they are size 10-24 and 2" long should work. I got 2 1/2" length bolts and ended up cutting the extra length on the backside of the reflector with my dremel. I also got some washers and lock nuts to secure them from the back of the reflector.
