Re: Rear Bumper Support brackets

I made a set of aluminum of rear brackets. (I used an brake & shear at my old work.) I also used different bolt than the factory setup as well to save weight. I went to put them on my fiberglass rear bumper cover and it seem ridculous they weight more than the 2# part I was using, I don't remember exactly what every thing weight, but I think I saved around 3-4# overall.

Re: Rear Bumper Support brackets

yeah I had made a set as well but I didnt really think the pound or two would be a big selling point

Re: Rear Bumper Support brackets

Here is a set in 5052 aluminum...which should bend w/o cracking. I'll probably have them bend/welded next week sometime....i don't have a stock bracket in my hand to take along w/ it, otherwise i'd get it done today.

Re: Rear Bumper Support brackets

Re: Rear Bumper Support brackets

with the work I have into my chassis she will be shown with Mirrors under the car. Also consider anodizing them because naturnal aluminum will get shitty with the quickness

 

[MikeRenz]

Re: Rear Bumper Support brackets

well if you wanted to buy a set, i could just send you a flat set so you can polish/annodize them however you like. I don't think my personal polish would be show quality for you anyway...and its not worth you paying me to polish it.

 

[warmpancakes]

Re: Rear Bumper Support brackets

Are you implying im Picky? YOu send them to me then I send them back to get them bent?

 

[warmpancakes]

Re: Rear Bumper Support brackets

Re: Rear Bumper Support brackets

and its not worth you paying me to polish it.

how many dudes have you said that to at the truck stop?

 

[MikeRenz]

Re: Rear Bumper Support brackets

well my design is right on. We bent one this weekend w/ the ultra precise hammer & vise method. It turned out ok, but i'll have them brake bent for the real ones. So...guess we're back to who actually wants a set and made out of what material.

I can have a bunch cut this week or next and then bent the following week.
