Then just pick your style of cotter pin to secure the other end http://www.mcmaster.com/#cotter-pins/=57qrx2
Now for the expensive solution.

Quick release pins, push button yank out.
Downside is they are about 20 bucks a piece though theoretically you need just 1 per bumper right in the middle of the span if your bumpers are secure enough they shouldn't be able to bend up at the edges if they get yanked. |
This is more or less what 973 used to do, and now does. We have been happy with both methods with the exception of losing pins.
