Default 88 civic dx swaybar question

Hey, I just recent purchased a crx si oem sway bar complete for about 40 bucks for my88 civic dx. When i was trying to put on the bracket that goes on the frame and there isnt a nut there that i can screw in. I see the hole but no nut or thread and was wondering how i can screw in the bolt???

on my sedan..i cut a hole to stick a bolt on the inside and hold it down with my finger and screw it down from the outside. has not had any problems, and it feels great.

youve got a few options

1. you can cut a hole from the top to drop a bolt thru.
2. weld and fabricate the bracket to anchor to the tow hook bolts.

3. ive heard you can take the rear bumper off and the frame is open so you can fish a bolt thru the open holes.
