    It seems the majority of experts here recommend using a fastener of some sort... kind of puts my idea of 'No More Nails' in perspective doesn't it?

    Don't underestimate the tensile strength of bailing twine. I presume it would require a full cradle to be made so it will fit securely. I am just wondering about the effect it will have on the cooling system being so close to the radiator. Would it require the installation of a new crossmember?

    buy the cheapest arb non winch bar and start cutting.
    the grinder is your friend
    probably need a piece folded for the front.
    good luck and don't ever drop that thing on your toes

    I was thinking glue it to the brick wall and then hit the wall at 100-110kmh. It should self weld to the front.
    If you go over 110 then it becomes a mid mount unit.
