Can anyone tell me the correct way to mount the suitcase weights on the front bumper. I think the three holes in the bumper are for some type of fastener, but can't figure out how to align them with the groove in the weights. I think the weights can fall off on bumpy ground and want to prevent that. Thanks for your ideas! Arthur.

I had to take my 4 1/2" grinder and open up the slots on the weights. The slot in the casting is slightly tapered and wouldn't align with the holes in the bumper. I used 5/8 bolts with washers to mount them to the bumper. Before they would bounce all over the place. It's a pretty easy fix. Good luck.
