Tie down strap
Kyle,
I used a tie down strap I had in the back of my truck for the bumper trim on my Bug eye, worked great. Jim

Once again... ...Kyle, a beautiful job done, such a rare beast over here with the pistol grip and bag and spreader assembly complete. Congrats from across the pond. Walter, Middle of England, UK. | ||

I have a 700 with the original rubber bumper (its crumbling) and it actually has yarn strands inside the rubber down the top and bottom edges, I guess so they could get the rubber to shape in the mold? It's so interesting how they made these and the tricks they used.
If someone had a tool & die made from an original mint condition bumper, I bet you could press out new bumpers made with, like, melted down car tires or something. There is a very small rubber making shop in my city but I have no idea if they take random joes off the street. It's not like they are getting any business, the building looks virtually abandoned but people are still working there. | ||
