Bumper wood reinforcement

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,
Brett

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.

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.
