Auto Beauty's Front Runner
I used extra bolts purchased at a hardware store because my odyssey only had a front bolt. I had to purchase a 2nd bolt, washers, lock washers and nuts to secure the bracket to the frame. I was looking to get a longer bolt to replace the original bolt but could not find one yet. I may still replace it, as the original bolt loses a few threads of holding the frame because the bracket is between the bolt and the frame.
I pulled off the plastic piece where I needed to expand the holes to mount the brackets. As you can see I used a dremel to cut the holes.

DO NOT tighten any bolts until you get the front runner on. I learned the hard way and had to loosen all the bolts so that I could put the front runner on. I also had to remove some plastic from the lip(lack of a better word)for the brackets to mount correctly. If I didn't have to put this on, I wouldn't but being in the city pretty much requires it.
