Fastener Recommendation to Attach Round Rubber Bumper D3-96
Question:
I am interested in this bumper. My horse trailer has a triangular shaped channel behind the rear bumper where the bolts would go, making this difficult to drill holes straight through, I would think. The trailer wiring runs through this channel from one side to the other. What do you think I could use instead? Short Lag bolts? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
You could use some self-tapping screws like # FA1131822 to avoid drilling holes first. If you know about where the wiring is you could position the bumper # D3-96 so as to avoid the wiring. Or another option would be to drill from the backside, if possible, so you can avoid the wiring for sure. Or another option would be some type of anchor bolt or screw but that would still require drilling.
