Hi all,

I have a 03 Eurovan Weekender that I am slowly rehabbing. This Summer I’m working on the rust on the steel support under the bumper cover and around the back wheel wells. Does anyone know if the pictured part can be bought pre- fabricated and if not who wound make it? Thanks for any insight, this forum has been priceless during my rehab.

whats wrong with it? The little bit of rust on the surface and corner? Clean / repair it with small repair patches. You will do more damage by replacing the complete piece.

Well.... I'm diisassembling all the bumpers on my new-to-me 2001 Multi-Van since it spend a lot of it's life in the Northeast.

Looks like I need one of these as well. Mine is partially disintegrated due to corrosion.

The good news is my front bumper and supports are in very good condition with just a smidge of light surface rust in a few places. The rear bumper and supports are less-pristine but still much better than expected. Some rust on the edges in a few places that will be treated and protected.

However this left rear support piece was hit hard by the tin worm and I'll need to fabricate or find a replacement. Heritage doesn't show this part in their catalog so pls chime-in if you can recommend another source.
