Bumper rubber mounting

[AutoAndy]

...just to redeem myself for the chocolate cake / block / box connector argument, I wanted to share my idea from the weekend for re-mounting the rubber bumpers..

..the galv steel inserts at the front were ok, but at the back ones went from averagely rusty to just a loose brown powder.

I looked around for stainless or aluminium alternatives, but them had a brainwave......I had some plastic guttering left over from the Philpot front spoiler modification, so I cut out the straight bits to use.....



Result! No more corrosion, no additional materials costs.....and here's the best bit....it saves about half a kilogram in weight!

Win win win scenario

Nice bit of lateral thinking How do you weld the bolts on though?

I stuck with the original system on the back bumpers, of self tappers.

Is there a reason not to just glue it on?

....of course..... fear of that new-fangled technology....you know where you are with a screw....


.... having said that in reality it would probably be fine if you can trust your adhesive
