Default securing things to shock towers

How do you guys secure things like HID ballasts, or ingnition components to the shock towers? i am using double sided tape for my HID ballasts and the driver side ballasts keeps falling off.

if you are concerend with rusting put a dab of silicon sealent on the hole before you put the screw or bolt in. that should prevent any rust from happening.

next lame question - does drilling holes in your shock towers weaken them?

depends on the size of hole your drilling...

a hole big enough for a screw should be no prob.

You would have to drill a hundred pre-meditated holes to weak that stucture.

You can't hurt it.
