Since i wont use the standard shocktowers and bumpers/skidplates anymore the upper hingepins can fly away so i came up with this kinda euhm protective cover. Threaded the holes in the bulkheads first. You can flip it up and down when you want to remove the pins or when you want to remove the shocktower.
then i changed the pins for the drive cups into longer ones, the ones in the diff output cups remain the same.
here's what i did, just hammered a hardened steel nail through it and cut it off to the length i wanted.
