Default Dzus fasteners

I am looking to use Dzus fasteners to mount my bumper, my main reason behind this is the ease of removal/install (I have to remove my bumper to load car on dolly) i know im going to have to weld a bracket to hold up the Dzus plates, im just curious to see how u guys are mounting the hardware. any pics or info will be appreciated!

i need them for my bumper...and i wasnt gonna spend 300 per latch...30 dollars is better cause all i need is to weld a bracket on fender and drill a hole on the bumper...but the dzuz are still lower profile........either way is good...

Look on my homepage www.skippworks.com

I have 4 holding my bumper on....the driver side got ****ed up cuz my slick pulled the bumper on a pass at the track.

I did a red EK recently too....

I can sell you the fasteners, the brackets, and springs. PM for details
All you need to do is drill, and rivet, and your done.

No welding required...you can drill two holes in the fender and use bolt+nuts.

For the front two, I just bent the bracket to about a 45 degree angle, and riveted it to the radiator support....

Bumper sits in oem location, and does not sag at all.

dont you think this kit your selling is only good for the guys using oem fenders? have you tried putting this on a fiberglass front such as a jojo or exospeed? im pretty sure it will not hold unless the brakets are welded to the body and not "bolted" to the fender

A couple guys with exospeed front ends picked em up.

I put it together with the intent of using oem bumpers, etc. I am sure brackets wouldnt be hard to make, and these would hold the fiberglass in place really well.

If you use the same location as the above pictures then it doesn't matter what front end you're using. I'll take pics tonight of how I did it.

It's super easy and cheap. No need to buy a "kit".
