Zenki-->Kouki Upper bumper retainer fix!!!! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

This was my way of dealing with the kouki bumper retainer being used with a zenki bumper support...

As many of you know, the middle pieces on the kouki retainer are too long...

I simply cut them in half, drilled holes, and reconnected....

A simple, but practical solution

Have you bolted the Bumper up using this "fix?"

Yeah....it fits really well....on my kit (Version select) I am fortunate that there is a "corner" on the inner top edge of the bumper that rests on a flat spot near where it meets the fender.....this carries much of the weight...

Basically, my upper retainer isn't really carrying a whole lot of the load...

Still figured the idea I gave is better than just flat out cutting those pieces off, which is what i have heard from a bunch of people
