     * The top front bracket (16265-76) is an "​L"​ shaped piece with 3 mounting holes. \\ It attaches to the front two rocker cover studs (3412) and to the frame neck by a bolt (3991) that screws in upwards. \\ If the front of the frame is stock, you should see the threaded hole by looking up with a flashlight. \\ It should be a 5/​16"​-18 x 7/8" hex head. \\  The upper front mount can be tedious to install. Easiest to install while installing the rocker cover while things are loose.
