Hello folks. Need to straighten a wobbly rear bumper. It has had a corner welded on badly in the past by someone (which needs to be cut off and re-done) and Id like to know how wide a bumper should be point to point as mine is somewhat out of square. Please let me know (mm if possible as I don't have a imperial measure).

Cheers
Dale

would this measurement differ from any style of bumper? I have a repop slash sitting in my carport I can measure for you.

Okay, I measured in standard measurement it come out at 65.25". I plugged that number into world wide metric converter and get 1657.35mm. That is measured from inside to inside the end tips of the bumper.

Gordo.
