|
|
My mate and I are looking for rubber impacts strips for our 412 74 and up alu bumpers. Seems like they are the same shape/type as the 74 and up type 1 strip, but they are too short.

Are anyone aware of suppliers selling these by feet? |

They are approx 85" and 91" so type 3 is too short. Soo far no luck finding the manufacturer, I would guess most of them are produced the same place. |

I've been looking in to buying a rubber extrusion the proper length, and attaching that. 1" to 1 1/4" width, and anywhere from 1/4" thick to 1". The thinner would be easier to shape around the curves, the thicker would approximate the originals better. I've contacted quite a few companies that make the extrusions, but haven't found one that would sell retail. |
