Lighten US Bumpers

[maardak@yahoo.ca (Mardak)]

The previous owner did this to my car (81 S).  It works really well. 
When you feel how heavy that steel frame is, a bit of a "hacker" job
with some spray foam seems justified to me if you can't afford euros...
 I'm going to rip the front one off and redo it when I install my faux
"S" spoiler.  I'll post the diameter of the pvc pipe and how he
attached them.  I believe he had to shave the pipe down a bit on the
sides and slam them in the frame rails with a BFH.  He then drilled
holes into the PVC in the stock bumper bolt locations and bolted them
in place.  It's really solid, and should hold up for years...

HTH,

Mark.
