They came pre-drilled so all I had to do was locate where they go and to make sure they were put on the right way around.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5232\/5898705904_5e3e5b9caf_z.jpg?resize=640%2C480\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><br \/>\nA horn angle attaches to both horns and to the spar. The DVD talks about cutting the corners off the piece but I was glad to see that this piece is now sent pre-shaped. The horn angle requires 4 rivets into the rear channel and I had to locate where to put them, as you can see from the picture I marked it wrong first time.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6006\/5898720802_9a28a77bc2_z.jpg?resize=480%2C640\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" \/><br \/>\nOnce attached to the spar, there are also two holes that go into the horns and then all the horn angle holes get opened for an A5 rivet.<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6012\/5898735226_45a2556690_z.jpg?resize=480%2C640\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" \/><br \/>\nThe horns are also strengthened to the rear channel by a piece of l-angle.
