or any other ideas to fit a corsa bumper back on, while not using the normal method. ie for quicker release style.

Here are some on Rally Design's website:

Dzus fasteners

Tweeks website seems to be down at the moment, so I can't check there.

They are pretty simple Nic.

You basically measure up where you want them to go, then drill a hole the diameter of the long shaft of the clip itself:



Then rivet the dzus fastener (above) into place over the hole, so that when pressed the fastener will go through the hole.

Then you may need to do a few test fits, and make up a bracket to go behind the bumper that you can rivet the dzus spring to:



Then its just a case of putting the bumper in place in turning the clip 90 degrees to lock into the spring, giving a really secure but quick-release fit.

I'd imagine its bolted under the bonnet as well Mark, and maybe underneath, but ones in the wheel archs are always the awkward ones, so I see why Broster did that.

Nic - take a read of these fitting instructions I found:

www.protex.com

these are used on military equipment as well as nearly all racing car manufaturers.

They are the dogs testes. I have some of their lockable catches for my kitcar bonnet.

I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
