I have a set of fiberglass front and rear bumpers for the conversion car. Purchased from PMS. (Made by someone else, I'm sure).
Anyways, I need brackets that I can glass in so I can use the factory mounting holes. Anyone know of a source? it's not a simple 90 degree bend... it involves some weird angles. Or can anyone post some pictures of another solution? Thanks! |

A job I haven't done since this morning! here's the link to the actual part: http://gettydesign.com/Catalog/2003%20Onli...alog%20v1.0.pdf
But the bumpers are so light you can just use 1/16 x 1 1/2 aluminum bar stock. Any hardware store will have, and you can cut it with tin snips and bend it with pliers. The bumpers are fragile so when you get hit the aluminum will 'give' a bit and bumper has a better chance of surviving. I glassed 'em to bumpers. |
