I went straight from nothing to a Hans device, I can't imagine you'd need to get rid of the Simpson if you like it, can't say I've ever read that it was required for a typical Hans.

Looks great!! I went with the Brey Kraus also based on reviews I had read on this forum. Not super simple but they work well. Love the red belts too. Nice work!

I love the mounting brackets! Is that a quick disconnect setup? Are you also using splitter rods? How far is it going to extend from the bumper?

There are six of those pins, the tops of which are circled. Only 4 are left in the inside. They attach to those metal "springs" or whatever they're called that the slave cylinder pushes on.
