I'm away working ATM sorry can't it's really easy tho depending on your brace about a 25-32mm hole saw should be enough space to get it through without scratching it

and it is a very good idea to remove the bonnet vent as well.

the paint on my strut brace start to faint away and pee off on the bonnet vent side. not to mention the rust too.
