Default Here is what I did, and it has held for over a year.

1. Cut all of the tabs off of the rings.
2. Take 4 small bolts or screws and JB Weld them into the 4 outside intersections where the rings cross.
3. Allow the JB Weld to dry.
4. Then take the rings with the screws sticking out and place them on the grill so that the screws go through the grill.
5. Put some locktite on 4 nuts and tighten everything down.

It holds really well, and I think that it looks a hell of a lot better than zipties.
