Being the car its going on is a non shaker car i had bought base plate and adapter ring and bubble from year one ( all fiberglass) so there is no holes on any of it im assuming the still ring had j clips the bolts threaded into guiess il just have to drill and use nut/bolt?

Can anyone post some shots (on real cars) showing how much the seal does or does not cover the bolts and possible one or two showing the bubble off but base and adapter ring still on
Thanks guys

Are the seven bolts required available as repo's from anyone?
Year One carries them at about $50/Set... I believe some radiator shroud attaching bolts were the same or very similar...

If you would be looking for convenience rather than correctness, I always run screws up from the bottom so that they stick up through the bubble. Then use little wing nuts on the threaded end of the screws. I learned that way back when I had my Shaker hooded 6 BBl Cuda. Everybody wanted to see the carbs and intake. And taking the Shaker off with the original screws running down through the bubble meant I had to carry a nut driver. It was just a pain. On that car and my current Cuda, I just keep wing nuts on screws run up through the threaded holes on the 4 corners. That way it only takes a minute to spin them off, then the wing nuts on the air cleaner lid and the wing nut on the carb and it's off. This will also be a life saver while tuning the beast.  Just a suggestion.
Master, again and still

Agreed, I do the same, but with knurled thumb nuts, makes bubble removal easy and quick
