 |
|
| If the bumper bracket mounting areas are structurally sound, and the inside of the body is braced, is this feasible? |

Yes! Check out my 54 Oval thread. Works great!

| Thanks, Jimbo! I thought I had remembered seeing that in your thread. That thread needs a table of contents! There’s so much good stuff in there but it’s almost 90 pages long!😀 |

I started to make one! I went looking for something (senior moment) and did not know where to go to. So page by page, I combed through the entire thread. Never found it! Then I remembered it being in a book, from years ago!
A table of contents would have been great!

| You probably didn’t expect it to go to 90 pages! But it is really a great reference for us that are trying to keep one of these old things alive. |

VW apparently thought so...even when handling the weight of a complete car.

I wonder if the bonnet and engine lid opened without hitting the bumpers.
