I finally got around to cutting my rear bumper to fit my rear beam brace support for my swan neck chassis mount wing.
To make the perfect cuts... I found the center on both bumper and support as pictured. The result were basically the minimal width cuts I could make. However, I widened the openings up almost equally around to leave room for adjustments and/or movement.
Btw... the little black spots that look like miscuts are actually the black plastic underneath showing after I sanded and filed the edges...
I'm very happy with the end product!
What I did:
>>Measured centerline of both bumper and support brace.
>>Lined them up with a square.
>>Used a ruler and sharpie to make a dashed lines.
>>Connected the dashes with a white paint marker and ruler.
>>Used Dremel with cutting wheel, sanding drum, and file make my openings.
>>Cleaned the edges up with sandpaper on a piece of sheet metal.
Perfect alignment on first try!
