I’m going to hinge my bow rail for my TM. My question for everyone that has done it is how did you fasten the parts to the rail? Did you use the little allen wrench set screws that came with the parts or drill it all the way through the rail and other side of the hinge and use a bolt?
 
While I have used that specific fitting, I've done plenty of rail fittings using the set screws and it's basically the same thing. It's not uncommon for OEM to build bow rails that way, either.
