Pictures of BN4 front shroud/chassis joint

Does anyone have any good photos of how the top front of the front shroud connects to the chassis. We tried fitting ours yesterday and it looks like the metal flange of the chassis should be bend flatter than it is. Are the holes on the inside of the drain channel of the shroud supposed to be riveted to the 3 holes in the chassis metal flange?

I'm posting pictures of the parts here for review.
thanks,
rich

The inside drain channel of the shroud is secured with philips headed countersunk 10-32 machine screws. When fitted they should be flush with the inside of the drain channel. I can see the three corresponding holes in your chassis for the front of the drain channel. The shroud fits under the tabs on the main frame rails in the front then stretch and pull it back up and over the flange for the front drain channel in the bonnet opening , tweek slightly as necessary.
 
Brinkerhoff,
Can you tell if the flange at the top should be bent down or is it supposed to be vertical? It doesn't seem to line up with the holes in my shroud.
thanks,
rich
 
There are drain holes in the "bottom" of the shroud trough, then there are forward angled countersunk screw holes to take the screws Brinkerhoff described. The plane of the screw holes should approximately match that of the inner flange support.
