2nd bent matryx tunnel.

The m12 rivet gun is worth its weight in gold.

So much nicer than the air riveter I’ve used for so many years.

It pulls in one trigger application.

No pushing the rivet nail out the other side on the reset like the air.

No more listening to the air compressor.

No tangled air hose.

I second the M12 Rivet gun is worth its weight in gold also… so much nicer than a air rivet gun

What other than rivets have others used? Or are steel rivets what comes with BMP. There is chatter about them hitting the track. Those guys gotta be using too long of rivets[emoji2371]

I've had two BMP rear bumpers and one B&M rear. All axys. The BMP might be thicker aluminum but I liked the fit and finish of the B&M better.
The BMP's came with about 20 rivets but I also added some shorts panhead nuts and bolts. In some places I riveted or bolted from the inside of the tunnel outward, so there was no track interference.

Good deal, I was thinking the same with some allen button heads from the inside out and acorn nuts. Thanks

I can’t verify the bolts dealer put on the bumper I never noticed missing bolts but still pretty shocked how easy that bent. Did that same move a thousand times on a axys never had an issue

You should be able to look at the inserts on the bumper and see if the screws broke off
I added 4 rivets on each side.
Not sure how much that really strengthens it but made me feel a little better and pry won't vibrate as bad when it's warming up now.
