We too used 1/4in pins with our reversible bumpers. 10 secs to flip colors and another 30 seconds to remove the bumpers with two people.

We also had reusable zip ties to hold the pins into our frame so we would lose them and kept a tighter fit. While their was a little play they never came off and after two very strict bumper inspections they never said their movement was unacceptable.
