One of the many projects I will be doing on my 75 is to backdate the bumpers. I have the bumpers but I don't have the bumper tops. As I am searching for decent used tops I was wondering does anyone make fiberglass tops? Or some other material? Just curious. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Yes, there are fiberglass tops out there.
There are some on ebay right now: Link
They seem to always be available there with a "Buy It Now" but every so often they pop up for regular bidding.

I got mine on regular bidding, and from 5 feet you can't tell they aren't OEM rubber.
