Re: Bumpers

Instead of a C-channel, which holds the bumper away from the frame by the thickness of the channel material, (a problem with inspections in the past, but not so much now), we use pieces of aluminum angle above and below the frame. These angle brackets are bolted to the plywood and are drilled for pins to go through the frame. Using spring pins is a very good way to quickly change bumpers.
