Picked up some bonnet pins (Yeah i know you all call em hood pins, but i'm Irish, therefore i'm illiterate)

I figure there's two obvious location for mounting. Above the light buckets Or on the bonnet leading edge.
I like the leading edge location better but i'm unsure how to mount the long threaded part. Any pic's how how this can be done?

The easy install is simply removing the rubber bumper, like in the pic.

However i'm concerned that only having pins up there could allow air to flow under the ledaing lip of the bonnet & potentially cause a flip up.

Thus i'd like to put pins down on the leading edge. Now when i looked the other night, eyeballing the shelf below the bonnet i guestimated it wasn't far enough into the trunk space to allow the screw piece to sit vertically.

Thus was hoping someone could post a pic of how they'd tackled the problem.

My thought is to weld a small bracket onto the shelf in the lower corner of the bucket to extend it out & simply screw the piece on. Would that work???
