Vintage Air Sure what?

[C10_Dreamin]

I am in the middle of my frame on resto and I purchased the vintage air system for my 81 C10 w/factory air. I am done shaving the firewall where the hoses will be routed but now am stuck figuring out a way to mount the compact evaporator unit without drilling holes like the instructions ask, any ideas on how to mount the brackets highlighted without drilling or welding?

I installed the kit in an 83' a few months ago. If you need any measurement or anything for the holes I would be glad to help. I can't think of any way you could mount it without drilling some holes.

By the way, I thought the instructions for the 73-87 sure fit kit were pretty good. I didn't run into any major problems with the installation.

I think I'm going to weld some bungs like screaminchevy mentioned.

Did the same on a 1950, but we didn't use any of the brackets that came with it we made our own and it fit much better.
