Looks like a good job ~ If anyone has details on what is required I too would be interested :wink: :wink: Looks like a very good "mod" for the Rally car. :roll:

It's very easy, you just need to drill 4 holes in the metal bumper bar underneath, two either side, and two on the front either side. Bolt your pins in, slot the bumper and jobs a gooden.

It makes working on the front of the car a lot easier, bumper comes off within a few seconds.

Would have thought a rally car would already have this rod? :wink: Do the back bumper as well while your at it :lol:

Are you using six pins to hold the bumper on?

Yes, sorry I missed the bit about the front ones being done two on either side as well. 8 pins sounds like overkill to me though. Think I'll go with Lunner's method as it looks like you can get away with just 4.

Oh well excuse me! That should have clearly been a hyphen and not a comma. Next time, I just won't bother :wink:

I'm using 2 pins, end of, haven't got the bolts tightened up underneath and the bracket in the middle has been removed, can move it a bit but is solid enough, not gonna come off.

Just drilled through the mounting plate and bumper

That will get expensive very quickly with 8 aerocatches

Consider using only aerocatches on the visible bits and the regular type underneat/out of sight.
