|
|
I've been searching for a while here but coming up empty handed. If the info is there, I guess I didn't look long enough, but I trying to see if there are any good pics around of the bumper reinforcement wood or measurements.
Thanks all,

I have new fillers in stock for $30. Hardly worth your time to chase the wood and spend the time to make it for this price.

Sometimes projects are simpler than they appear. I simply reverse engineered it. Use your bumper as the template. Cut it to fit, drill the holes and you're done. |

FYI. John's filler is correctly made of oak (I think) and fits right and tight. _________________ keep 'em rollin'

I installed one of John's in my M38 bumper. Fit perfect. I also made one for my GPW, although cheap to make, the hassle factor favors purchasing a correct one already made. My two cents.
