> Pete- Unless you ditch the reinforcement C-bar beind the bumper, you’ll need some serious clamping force to hold it on. I dont think 2-4 dzus fasteners on the front will do it. Just my $.02.
i will have nutplates affixed to the aluminum rebar, then, a metal “strut-type” bracket system will be implemented on a custom underpanel… on each strut there will be a “tab” which mates to the frame rail. i already have my lip secruely fastened via about 15 machine screws/ washers/ nuts. my brake ducts are screwed in to the cover as well. i’ll probably construct the under panel from some abs, cheap/ leightweight, etc… i will let you know how i make out, but i plan on this being a well-thought out process. :number1

I know right? Cleco’s are an airframe fab/setup tool carried over to the auto world and sheet metal fab…Awesome little bits. Thread setters install threaded inserts into sheet metal in a similar fashion as a pop rivet. Dzus, well you know those.
Dzus
Thread set
Cleco
…And because we’re on this topic, three more commonly misunderstood fastener inserts 🙂

I’ve used more cleco’s in my life on aircraft then I care to discuss…
And the ‘thread set’ is commonly referred to as a ‘rivnut’ also.
While we are at it…
Nutplate
Clipnut
Blind rivet
Standard rivet (takes 2 people to install in some cases)

they do, primarily for bike applications. Problem is that they are very expensive and in only 1 style. So if you want captive fasteners or flat heads on top your out of luck.

Cut out that little faux grill piece or enlarge the lower opening maybe. Toss a pusher on the front and you’ll be golden. And you wont take out your rad and IC quite as easily.
