I've been asked by a few of of you to look into making these. The tooling is not inexpensive, but there apears to be a need to produce these. We're making some improvements, all the metal in the bumper will be stainless. We will also provide the nuts with nylon lock nuts. The rubber will be slighly harder. I will have the first samples in about 4-5 weeks. Production will be about 2 weeks after.

These sell at $335.

Pictures of the parts will be posted as soon as they're ready. More pictures added on page 3 also.

Good news, and bad news.

Good News is the first article is done!!!! this means production will begin in about 10-12 days. The only this that could delay it a day or two is the substructure mountings. I got one out of the machine shop that I had welded up and brought over to mold onto the same day. The rest will not be ready until next week. I have to get those welded and over to production to be formed into the bumper. Depending on how my week goes it may be Wednesday before I can have them over there, production is about a week afer.

The bad news is they misfigured the volume of ruber these will require. This means the cost is $18 more per unit. I will honor the $265 price for all of you that have comitted to purchse to date. I still have pre-production purchases available at $283 for those of you that had not comitted to date. After May 5th, the full price will be $312.
