Screw this, I'm going home. I stayed late to get some work done since I'm leaving early tomorrow and the damn server crashed on me. I can't get to any of my files. Bastards!!!

The only reason I had to modify the brackets was to make the long black brackets that came with Dave's setup fit on a downward angle when they were both hooked in to the central lower hood latch bolt. There's only about 1/8th of an inch between the bolt head and the bulge on the bracket; on Dave's, I ended up relocating his temp sensor about an inch lower as well to get it out of the way.
Matt's horns are on a single piece of 1/8th strap with a central hole for the hood release bolt, and the horns bolted directly to either end. I clearanced his grill a bit too.
Mine are a totally different animal, as my hood ltch lets me use the upper bolts on each side of the release.
I technically could have used the 10mm bolt for the temp sensor on Dave's car, but decided I wanted to do it forma stronger mounting point.
But it's a moot point anyways. I just couldn't see how to make the horns line up when I had a different horizontal and vertical position and no adjustment in the length of the bracket
