Been thinking about a front bumper.
Current plan is to ask Dave how much it would be to make an adapted rear bumper, so I put my rear bumper up against the front of the buggy to see what would need to be done.
So the mods would be (I think)
1. spin the mounting brackets on the bottom mounts 180 degrees.
2. move in the top mount tubes to the same width as the bottoms, extend the top them up to the top plate (as shown by the bit of wood in the second pic) to and use another set of mounting brackets.
3. Probably (as I've not got the front suspension on yet (yes, I know I know I've been very slow)) shorten the actual bumper somewhat - it looks very long. I'd expect it to be roughly long enough to cover half of each tyre. Alan: how long is your bumper?
While I realise it's going to be quite high and will require a fair bit of thought about the front panel I think it will look pretty good, and provide a good 'floor' to reduce contact problems.
Any suggestions, problems with my plan?
