Thanks for the video. I did this mod a few weeks ago and love it. The bottom bolt was a pain since it is not threaded as you mention. I did use the bolt to thread it but I did it from the back side to make the threads and then removed it and then install it on the front side. It was much easier for me to use a socket to thread the bolt hole.
