ah, well, could little brackets be riveted to the body and sticking out forward to the inside of the nose?

Admitting it is the first step to recovery Coozer...! I promised myself that I would not use wood anywhere in my car, however much it felt like it
might work!
So screw a bracket onto the wood (teehee, you got wood), and mount the Dzus or similar on that....?

Alex (Omega0684) has just done a quick release nose I think on his Dax Rush, maybe worth contacting him.

sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip!"

Exactly...! That was70+ years ago. Or shall we look at the Locust as a good example?! On my car, I felt carbon was more appropriate than wood, but I
agree, wood has its place!
