Re: Best methods of bumper mounting?

We used Rivnuts this year. In 55 matches and approximately 60 bumper swaps (including practice/etc), we stripped 3 of the Rivnuts. The last time one stripped, removal of the rivnut caused a bigger hole in the frame which then wouldn't accept a new rivnut. So we had to drill through and put in a through-bolt.

Next year, we may go to what 2363 had - see attached.
