After 3yrs I found the prongs on my radiator side aluminum pieces were twisting my front clip and making its fitment an absolute nightmare, so...choppy choppy :stunned:
For securing my front clip I've got '3' main attachment points:
- 6 1/4'' bolts (3 per side) that bolt the front clip's flange physically to the diffuser
- Quick release pins in the aero-catch location to hold it down there
- Bolted the ?stantions? on each side to the radiator side aluminum (my stantions seem kind of flimsy so I'll probably add some material to stiffen them and make sure they don't ever fail)
I think that should be enough? I was considering making another set of prongs that sit in the pocket (as per the original design) as a fail-safe, but I don't think that would be necessary upon retrospect? The front clip could only lift off if the bottom flagne itself broke off. Or if the diffuser itself broke (think I'd notice that, lol) the stantions would still be bolted to the radiator aluminum pieces so it should still hold temporarily.
Thoughts - do I need a set of prongs as a backup?
