Installing Dome Bumps

Rather than use some pre-made/cast part from the club, I used the shortest carriage bolts (with the correct head size) for the Dome Bumps. The carriage bolts were still pretty long so I used scrap styrene (glued to the dome) to act as washers to hold the Dome Bumps in place. I then took two nuts and drilled them out to use as large washers (rather than using several flat washers). After adding the drilled out nuts to the Dome Bumps, normal threaded nuts were added to hold everything in place. To make sure the dome bumps didn't move, Tech Bond was used to glue the two sets of nuts together and attach them to the styrene scrap previously glued to the interior of the dome.


Once glued in place, the Dome Bumps looked great.
