Cf hood and fluid sprayers

i have the seibon cw cf hood and the windshiled fluid sprayers dont fit in the holes that are on the hood. I was wondering if the holes were maybe made for a previous or later model evo..i have a 05 VIII...if not does anyone know if any aftermarket sprayers would fit...and if not does anyone know how i can make teh stock ones fit without cutting up my hood?

Thanks

PS..searching didnt show anything but a guy that used epoxy

You need to use a dremel or a small grinder and grind the hole a lil at a time check that they fit!! And it doen't hurt to use a lil rubber glue...

Here is what I did. they do fit, but barely. I put them in as far they would go by pushing on them and then I stuck and small nail through the bottom of the sprayer. If you look at the spray nozzel you can can see where I am talking about. make sure the nail is long enough to go from side to side of the hood so the nozzel won't pull it through. It keeps the nozzel nice and tight and then I just hit it with some black spray paint and BAM your done. No drilling or anything.
