Here's what I plan to do with the 70mm m4 bolts through the bulkheads. I have holes drilled up through the bulkheads for the bolts like this:

at an angle so they clear the shock tower:

Now I need to make an aluminum top plate and a skid plate for below the chassis to shield the cap head bolts sticking out. I'm using the regular holes in the chassis for these four bolts.


The m4 screws I have in the bulkheads now are doing the job, but get knocked loose from impacts - there's a lot of shear force on them with this 19lb truck. I imagine each time they get knocked loose and retightened, the plastic that's holding them is degrading (one of the eight is stripped now). I'm hoping that this is holds up much longer. :yes:
