Given the advice from several club members and some blind naivety of my own, the magical process of turning a length of steel box section and some odds and ends into a superb, world class HD bumper has begun.
How hard can it be....
First stage was to pick up a length of 100x75x3 box from Dave for a few beer tokens. (Thanks Dave)
This was soon followed by lots of holding it up against the std bumper to see how it might fit, head scratching and drinking tea. Given a lack of fag packets, I had to resort to proper paper for some rough sketches.
Photos of other, commercial bumpers gave ideas too.
So, it should turn out to be much like the Devon 4x4 bumpers, tapered up at each end with recover loops welded in, in line with the chassis rails.
Let the cutting commence!
