SUCCESS!!!! I got the rear bumper mounted to the fender struts WITHOUT having to drill my fender! Thanks NIKONF8 and LAWNMOWERMAN!! I used a similar setup, I used 2- 3/4" chrome allen head bolts, 2 lockwashers, and 2 low profile square jam nuts and it is solid as a rock!! Thanks all you guys for the help!

Well done, hope you polished them bolts,
I dont have a hole to bolt the bottom to on my Deluxe, hence the silicone,
I'm going to fit my front rail this weekend, I started to fit it last weekend, but I needed to order longer bolts as I couldnt get the nuts on the ones fitted as standard.
Should look good with both fitted.
