i've got a fibreglass front bumper for my 3 door and am trying to figure out how to mount it, the side's will be mounted with aero catches, but struggling what to do on the front, i cant bond anything onto the inside of the bumper so it's along the lines of pin's, but i dont want to use them really as i think they will look to bulky,

these are the tidiest things i've found so far

the bumper



any help or pictures and i'll love you all

cheers

 

i have dzus fastners holding tailgate on


they do hold very secure


but you need a screwdriver to undo them (or a 2p works well)

the sliders also work well and also very secure



and no tools needed

 

seen some with bonnet like catches being used.

they must use the chassis holes at the front, make a block with the bonnet pin on it,then the bumper slides over the pins and fastens on.

either that or get a fooked bumper and rip the back off it and mate that to the bumper.

 

thanks gus

i would use the dzus fasteners but the front fixing point is a few inches away from the bumper so will need a threaded bar or something, thats why them sliders are looking favourite so far, get them anodized black and they shouldnt look too bad i dont think, what do you reckon?

cheers

 

thats what i'm thinking of doing mate use the chassis hole, not sure if bonnet pin's would look any good or not? who's good at photo shop? lol

 

yeah i think they should look good

the bonnet pins are quite chunky and the sliders are bit more discreet

or what about the the aerocatches? 4 of those might look good (2 front, 1 each side)

 

thats my other option, i have got aero catches for the side, i've asked in photoshop section so will see what they look like, didnt want anything to break up the front end though if you know what i mean?

 

sometimes its good to show what you have done


see what they come up with then a

 

ron where did you get the bumper from as it should have a part bonded on to the rear like this

then u just bolt the original pegs on to push on to the chassis legs

EDITED sorry ill have a look at some race car pics in the morn see if i can get you a solution

 

dont forgot my bits in the morning jay

 

gus im only half way through the truck

 

cheers jay that'd be very helpful, i got the bunper for nothing as the guy who give it to me had cut it about to get the 500 scoop off to bond onto he's bumper, dont know who made it or anything

 

so u have no mounting points at all on the back then ?

 

no mate none, it's just a fibreglass bumper skin if that makes sense?

 

yes it does ! ill check to see if the mounting mold is the same for 3 doors ad well as 500s if so ill get you one knocked up

 

that'd be marvelous, thanks mate i love you

 

If that doesn't work out, I'd be cautious about using bonnet pins horizontal through the front of the bumper - I'm sure there is a rule about sharp protrusions on the front of the car, and it would be a pity to do all the work and then get told it wasn't road legal or something.

 

yes ur right theu wont let the car on and i was wrong we dont do a bracket ron but ive been told by the guy whos teaching me they its done is to bond a bracket to the back using 2 layers of a 1oz glass then 2/3 layers of 1.5 oz glass then bolt the original arms to it hth
