I have a customer that uses those all the time on his custom International Scouts. Looks trick on the bumpers he makes, especially after powder coat. ;)

Unless things have changed you'll wait quite a while for them to ship and when they get to you you'll have to dress them with a file. He just tossed them in a shipping envelope and they banged together all the way here. Just an FYI
Great prices though........

Thought on the bolt together one? Sure there only good for thinner stuff, but I dont have a press.

I like dimplles, especially on checks, both of 'em. ;D
