Anyone have a faster method? We Usually have our drive between two plates so wing nuts are a pain; we were thinking cotter pins might work well.

EDIT: to keep this thread from getting too long, can we hold off posting until someone who did that style bumper replies.
yeah 1138 uses cotter hairpins to hold the bumpers in the place. They work well and only take about 5 seconds to take the bumpers off. You just have to watch your clearance and makes sure that the cotter pin fits in snuggle against the backing material
