Bumper Design

[greyandwhite]

Last year we designed our bumpers to be held in place by bolts fastened by some quick release pins,https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...kQsVL_cfhEVPyg
something like that, and we were able to change them pretty quickly once we got the hang of it..

People have suggested quarter turn fasteners before, similar to the fasteners used in race cars.

We essentially permanently mount our bumpers (we can take them off if needed). Instead of switching them we have it so we sow the fabric so we can just flip it over. It takes seconds and looks much better than a cover.

^ can you post a pic, I am not following the concept. Thanks

We also use the C channel on the back, over a 1" frame rail, then a pin with a clasp that you would see on tractor implements.

Our team has been thinking on how to do something similar; however, we're not entirely sure on how to go about it. Is there any way you could post a picture, or a diagram of how your flip design for your bumper works?

I believe this is what they're talking about.

Thank you for the picture, it is greatly appreciated!

Our team normally uses C-channel on the back of the bumper and pins to hold it to the chassis. (We use aluminum tubing) Also, we have pretty much perfected the reversible bumper fabric. Switching from red to blue and vice versa is super simple with the system we use.
