there are 3 clips on the bottom, the mounts usually break when you pull it off - hence the popularity. All you have to do is get the mounting points right and sell them without the clips, as the buyers can re use the original clips after the mounts break off
See if you can get one at your local wreckers, shouldn't cost you much.. all in the name of the big picture

Awesome ben, you have done a great job on it, can't wait to see the glass one. How much are you looking at selling them for ? i will be thinking hard on it while we await the first one from the mould.

Ben I think you will be looking closer towards the $1000 mark, used to make a tilt front for the F100 trucks in my early days, time is a factor, re-inforcing, and the layup 8oz - 10oz. Then comes the Hinge system in the front............ lock down system, it just adds up. Good luck  ;)
