one thing i noticed is it doesnt take a countersink very well. its not a clean edge at least. it leaves a lip around the edge. its no my counter sink causing it because its a brand new 6 fluted bit. its almost like it pushed the alum out.
it bends my bumper back all the time if i tap into anything at the last bend to the left in the picture.

Did you buy 7075-T6 or 7075-O? I guess I'll have to see how my piece works for my build.
I will say that from my experience 1/8" aluminum sticking out in front supporting a bumper will bend every time - that's what happened when I tried it with 6061-T6 anyways.
Edit: I checked out your build - I hadn't seen it before - nice work.
