    Default D.I.Y Quick Release Bumper Bars

    I'm thinking of using quick release fasteners for my AE86 track car.any suggestions on how to fabricate the brackets and where to bolt them.

    its pretty hard on 86's and xe7x's. as the bars only hav 2 brackets holdin them on, and those 2 brackets are the main supports, so without those brackets the bars will flop all over the place, the only way i could see to do it was to get a bar that has the grille moulded into it or a fibreglass bar and the just hav 2 clips that clip onto the radiator support panel and then if nesessary put a zip tie through the bar and guard to support the sides, as they can be cut of easy peasy,

    Use a Dzus fastener at each end of the bumper to attach to the guard, and then only attach the big M12 or M14 bolts to the end of the chassis rails. Thats how ive done mine for years.

    Makes me not want to use them when seen on crappy cars such as above.

    I have done the same as Takai.

    Use the two huge bolts to the chassis rails, and a couple of zip ties in each end (at the front of the wheel arch). Has worked fine.
