 |
|
| I bought a 72 super beetle and recently took the shell off the chassis. I noticed after looking at a JBUGs video, I do not have a crumple guard mounted to the front head. Do I need this? I feel like I should considering the holes are there for it. Where can I buy one? Any ideas? |

I do not believe they are reproduced.
I believe they are called a "deformation element"
Mine came with one, so I may get around to putting it back on some day, or not.
If I didn't have it I would not bother myself. I don't actually know that I'll bother myself anyway and I have it.
They are supposedly to absorb some level of energy in a front impact but looking at it I can't imagine it doing anything at all.
I feel like I'm basically driving a motorcycle in this thing anyway.
