There are two brackets that snake under the bonnet and bolt onto the slam panel and the main supports go through the two holes in the front panel for the front subframe mounting bolts.

One type has a nut welded into the nudge bar in which case you remove the standard subframe mounting bolt and replace it pointing outwards to bolt into the bar instead of a nut.

The type other has the end of the nudge bar tubes flattened with a bolt hole in it. These are designed to sit along side the later towing eyes and are held together with a penny washer and bolt through the towing eye and nudge bar on each side.

Mini fitted to the towing eye replacement bolts for the front subframe. 
 

but they are not all the same fitting originally it depended on who made them back then.
