An insert goes into the strut, there should be a small dot on the strut mount surface, but using the dot first make getting the hole through the wing critical. Wait and tape the struts in place then drill through the wing into the strut. I don't remember where I got the how to but the kit does supply the threaded inserts and socket head bolts.
First pic is of my unpolished bolt, second pic is preparing to add the insert, third pics is after installing inserts on bottom side. I use a piece of balsa to make an angle guide between the wing and strut then drilled and threaded the insert into strut. Where the bolt goes through the wing is where I used brass tube to make a channel between the top and bottom spars for they are hollow.

@David Cokley, thank you very much and I'd have to agree.@acerc, That Bulldog looks AWESOME! ! ! ! ! However, I don't care how shiny the plane is, IMHO, it will never look as good as your Pitts does . . . .

Ouch, I see your dilemma. Those don't look finished to me, I think I would inquire about them with EMHW.
