Yet another bumper thread

So before I ask the Q&A I wanted to run this by other CDers to see what they thought.

Using the KOP frame the proved axles are 3/8" bolts. This means that either the bolt head or the nut and bolt end rest outside the outermost frame rail.

In order to support the bumper along the entire length do we then have to mount another frame member above the chassis (with no bolt heads or nuts sticking out) running the whole length of the robot and sticking out from the chassis by the thickness of the bolt heads sticking out?

This seems a bit ridiculous to me.
