Here is how I did it.
Tools: Drill, 1/4' bit, #10x1 Stainless screws(4), #61-0087-8 drywall anchor(4)
1. Find centreline on bracket and scribe a mark.
2. Open hood, use latch hook to attatch a plum bob, let it hang down to below where the bracket sits. Line should go through centre of 'M' on GMC emblem. The mesh grill behind the emblem has vertical 'bars' that run centre line up and down, use as a guide for string.
3. Using painters tape, mount the bracket and centre behind string. You will need 3 pieces of tape, one for each side and one for the top. Once in place, adjust as necessary to centre up/down and left/right then firmly mount it.
4. While firmly held in place, say a prayer, have a stiff shot of something and drill 4 mounting holes 25mm deep. This was the worst feeling ever.
5. Using #61-0087-8 drywall anchors, push the anchor through bracket hole into drilled hole in bumper. The lip on the anchor will not go through the bracket hole, this will clamp it flush with the bumper. If you put the anchor behind the bracket, the bracket will not sit flush with the bumper.
6. Use #10x1 Stainless screws to clamp bracket.
7. Done.
I did not want to use rivets, plastic anchors are easier to replace and cheaper, plus they will not rust. Using Stainless screws will also prevent rust. I looked at every other way to mount the factory bracket without holes, but this is the only way. As long as the holes are centred, it is a plastic bumper and will not rust out. Horrible feeling drilling holes in a bumper that is less then a year old though, but it looks good. I am trying to figure out how to post pics, will try to get some up soon.
Hope this helps others who would like to mount a front plate bracket. Really is not that hard, just measure and check centre alignment.
