This is the next step to do after you have cut the hinges on your sammi . I did this a while back , so the zuk is my old one .. but the process remains the same . I have done this to 3 rigs with good sucess . The only downside is if you overtighten the self tapping screws it will strip out the hole in the cowl .
First remove the mirror from your sammi . The screws can be a bit stubborn sometimes .
Now hold the bracket up to where you are going to place it on the cowl . I used a finish nail to scribe the mark on the back . The mark follows the body line of the cowl .
If you remove the mirror it will make it a little easier . If you do remove the mirror be careful as the mounting bolt can fall back into the mirror .
I used a cut off tool to make the two cuts . The vice grips keep your hands safe and the bracket also gets pretty hot . You could use a dremel , but I think it would use a lot of cutting wheels .
This is the bracket with the cut done . I used a bastard file to clean the edges up and sprayed some flt black on it so it would look a little better .
I squared the rear edge up to the tub and drilled the first hole . I then used a 3/16" self tapping screw to attach it .
Heres the second hole . I drilled it after I got the 1st screw in and everything all lined up .
So now you can run without doors legally . If you run without doorstraps the door can hit the mirror , but overall I am very happy with this cheap and easy modification .
