Default Springer seat rail on a Heritage

Hi all,

Just picked up a Heritage springer seat rail and want to put it on my Heritage softail classic.Obviously it is not going to fit without some mods.

Anyone out there put one on and how did you mount it.There is a v-rail at the back of the rail with a vertical piece so not sure where thats got to go (or do you cut that bit off).Also is it mounted on the sides into the fender or the fender struts.If in the struts did you drill an extra hole.

Any help or pics would be greatly appreciated.
