Re: Bumper rules

The Bumper Zone is defined in Section 1.6 (along with all the other definitions). Bumpers must be in the Bumper Zone.

Your configuration should pass inspection if your supports are < 8" (20 cm) apart or < 1/4" (0.635 cm) deep per <R07-K>.

You'll probably want a standoff, but some blind nuts in the back side of the bumper plywood and some long bolts should do the trick. The standoff would be to keep the bolts from becoming hard to get to in the C-channel.

Just make sure that the bumpers will be in the bumper zone when mounted.
