Not sure if it`s correct but I drilled the holes out and ran bolts thru the frame with nuts,probably beefier than self tapping ones.

I went to lowes and home depot, nobody had what I needed to bolt the brackets to the frame. Anybody got some?

Thanks C.S. , There is a Napa about 25 miles from here. I will go over there first to see if they have them before I put you through all the trouble. Thanks for the suggestion...ALAN
