Bumper retention system -- Dzus?

Recommended Posts

Hey

 

Getting the front bumper off is a real pita , I installed Dzus fasteners as used on Motorbike farings ; only issue is they do not grip the bumper enough to hold it in place ; the gap between the wing and bumper is 3-4 mm ; looks crap

 

Looking for somebody with experience in motorsport area , Is there a retention system , preferable push button style , will retain the vertical load ?

They did indeed :)

 

Looks cool but I prefer the fasteners to be hidden, I would ideally like to do the whole retntion system on the front in the push button style ; undoing bolts is a pain in the ass

 

It is handy t have quick access for inspection and to keep things relatively clean before they get too ingrained

I guess you haven't got the spacing right to get a tight fit and the Dzus screw part needs moving
The fasteners I have are for motorcycle fairings to retain in place, I do not think they are designed to prevent the faring from moving

 

Have the car booked into Murray Motorsport Tuesday for alignment, will see what they might have

The ones on the bike just clip on and it snugly secures the faring, very little force force is applied

 

I suppose on a bike, the may be prone to cracking with the vibration if too tight

 

The ones above seem to be more geared towards automotive application and fit for purpose, for what I need
