No Brad, No Holes are drilled for these. The factory tie downs come off and these go under. What's wrong?????? Your mom not hold you enough as a child? If you want I'm sure there's more than enough guys here that are comfortable enough with their sexuality to get together and give you a group hug.

On another note, I would like to point out how USELESS those factory tie downs really are. Just about the only thing that will fit in there is a bungee cord...
I am curious though as to how long you have had your tonneau cover. I can't seem to find any that are hard ones for the Flareside. I like the fact that they use those mounting locations as well. The PO of my truck added some home brew mounts that thankfully the bed liner covers.

Hey steel horse could u tell me if possible where did u get those hold downs for the flare side. Company name if possible or the company name on the hard cover could be a start. I'm definitely interested in a set. I want to avoid drilling holes unnecessarily. Thanks.
Hey Evan p. Ur right about the bungee cord thing. I have the same problem wit those tie downs. Hahaha lol.

CHUCKS TRUCK ACCESSORIES
They have a leer topper for the flareside there. 500.00 out the door or 550.00 installed. Looks like they are in Nashville.
There's no markings on my hold-downs but they shouldn't be to hard to fab-up push come to shove. Pretty simple design. The cover itself is an ARE.

Steel horse thanks for the info. I'll see if I can find some one to fab up brackets like yours. Wen I seen it I thought ingenuity. Simple idea. Every one was telling me leer caps for my ride. I'm goin to be looking into it soon. Or Jericho caps. Thanks again everyone for all the help. Much appreciated.

The aluminum piece looks like half of a typical topper clamp. Some all thread and tube and you are done.

Just giving this a bump.
I am ATTEMPTING to mount my flare side cap and I do NOT want to screw it down if at all possible. But I am got having much luck with making a clamp that looks similar to the ones manufactured.
Does anyone know where to BUY these?
I called CENTURY and they appear to not be able to get them anymore

Fastenal sells four versions of the bolt, and I could mill the clamp out of a 4x4x1 inch chunk of aluminum in about a half hour. Though the clamp shown is extruded, and cut on a bandsaw.

That clap is just the top half of a standard topper clamp. Any decent truck acccesory store will have the clamps for sale. Or just google truck topper clamps. If you just take the clamp apart and then add the bolt....
