I feel your pain. We slipped up and left the BOM in the pit when we went to inspection. I always make sure the kids who make the BOM (the mad cadders) e-mail it to me so I have a copy just in case.

As for the bumperswhat do you consider easily removable. We ended up using 1/4-20 cap screws because we were uncomfortable using 1/4 turn fasteners for them.
