advice on repro bumper

[paddy56]

Hello there,

I have a nice 68'Westy, but the rear bumper is quite twisted because it has been repaired after a crash.
I am therefore planning to buy a fiberglass repro from nomorerustybits ( http://www.nomorerustybits.com/index_files/Page565.htm ) because straight original ones are getting hard to find. Has anyone tried one of those ? Is it hard to tell the difference with an original one ?

And what about the Brazilian metal repro from JK ? Is it decent quality ?

Thanks for your advice to come,
Paddy 8)

Hello mate, I have fibreglass bumpers on mine, they are not nomorerustybits ones, but are very similar. I love em, never rust and add a few extra mph to the van cos they are so light!

The ones i saw at Vanfest last year were spot on. 8)

just fitted a repro one. they are splitty shaped at the ends and do not fit early bays very well. Took a bit of persuading to level out.
