The drawtite has a flat bolting surface 1/4" (or 1/8") steel plate. Three bolts go into pre-existing holes on each side. The Number 7 bolt was a spare. I used it to start the holes/clean the threads on the passengers side because some undercoating had been sprayed into the bolt holes and made getting the fasteners started very difficult. Using #7 allowed me to clean all three holes w/o "gumming" up the 3 mounting bolts, thus allowing the loctite to work better.

There was also a flat washer and a lock washer on each bolt. Very secure. it's not going anywhere! (at least not without the rest of my car)
