I think it's a case of making up some brackets for them to fit on. Something like an 90degree one from B&Q. Bend it to the right shape. Then bond that onto the arch and bolt to your car.

Rather than bond brackets to the arch, I rivited/bolted the bracket to the body then used rivnuts to hold the arch on.

But then you will see the rivet or bolt on the arch. If you bond it on, the arch will look cleaner. But yes use rivnuts into the body of the car, this will make things alot easier taking it off again.

But it looks F***ing cool if you use nice stainless-domed-caphead bolts.
