Mine hasn't got any holes either so I guess you will have to drill holes.

Yep you'll need to drill holes. Be prepared to drop the shockies a smidge to get under there :)

Fit it yourself :)
Line the brace up and mark the holes with a texta - get a mate to hold the other end in the correct spot, so as the brace won't move and you mark it wrong :p
