My frame already had holes drilled, and i got the hooks off ebay. I wasn't sure how to mount them at first, but i figured that the open part of the hook faces inward so you can pull with it. The drivers side one is about a hair away from hitting the spring perch, and the right side is about 1/8" away. Seems a little funky to me, but if youre drilling your holes, i would move them maybe 1/4" forward on the frame horn, just to buy some extra room. Will try to get pics tomorrow for you
