Phil, You are right on the tube. I couldn't find the right size to fit in the hole in the body. Look at the centerlines on the tube that inserts into the body. That is where I drilled 1/2" bolts through the body and bumper. There is a bolt with a nut that goes through each of the holes. When I did it I had to rent a 1/2" right angle drill to get into the tight area. -Blake ----- Original Message ----- From: "phil stanhope" <napszeerf@yahoo.com> To: "Blake Heinlein" <blakeheinlein@hotmail.com> Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 3:42 PM Subject: Re: Bumper Design & Pictures
