I know you'll think I'm a retard, but what is the easiest way to measure the holes?

the way i done it was take the front and rear ends of and put the bumper on were you need it togo and mark the holes with either a pen or even a craft knife drill the holes out and to countersink them heat up the diff screw and push it through the hole till its countsunk then run it under some water to cool it down

Fitted them and they do look good. Only thing I went a little too far with one of the counter sunks. And virtually threaded the front diff housing screw holes. I'll have to watch this now!

It was only one hole that was almost thread, and one hole on the bumber that was counter sunk a bit much, but not right through. All is holding right now thanks. Worst case I have a spare diff case I could use.

Can you fill it will glue then put screw it.
