This buy it now auction is for two (2) aluminum handles with stainless steel button head Allen screws and washers and one (1) drill jig.
The jig is designed for a 10° tilt into the cockpit to clear the canopy.
But there is some room for rotation if you want to change that.
Small holes on the far side of the jig show you where the drill will exit.
Once you have the jig in place, you can double check the position by inserting the handle into the bushings using the 10-32 set-screws provided.
Then you take a 3/16" (.1875" dia.) drill bit and drill through the jig, through the tubular canopy frame to the far side (making sure not to nick the windshield).
Remove the drill jig. Then using a step drill (not included) open up the 3/16" hole facing the pilot to 5/16" to allow the handle to pass through.
Deburr all the holes and use the button head screws & washers provided to lock in place.
