installing grip ropes

Now that I have the scupper hole answered - and I thank you all for the responses, I need to install 2 rope grip in the nose and back of the Kayak so I can tie it off at a dock or securing it to my car for transporting. Is there a kit or a method to installing these ropes. I know most of the time these are molded into the boat but not mine. I just hate to have to drill 2 more holes in this thing without having the proper material. I was thinking of going to a plumbing supply shop to see what they have BUT I thought it best to ask this forum for help.
Thanks again
Uncle Vito

Plumb it with a wooden pipe.
