Lite weight bumper brackets
« on: December 25, 2005, 01:09:14 PM »

Searching for lite weight bumper brackets to mount up fiberglass bumpers for my 69 Dart.

Don't really want to make my own if inexpensive brackets already exist and don't want to use the stock ones as it offsets the weight loss of the bumper.

Any info would be appreciated.
Merry Christmas!!

Has anybody purchased the Fiberglass Fenders from the above website? Or can you recommend a good manufacturer?  I am rebuilding a 69 383 GTS and my fenders are not good. It is going to take a lot of work to make them right and if the Fiberglass fenders are good, it might be easier to get them.

Thanks

The only place I could find glass brackets was unlimited. Thay are not bad, you will need to do some fitting.  They only come with half of the "Y" bracket.  I used a hole saw on the steel half I still use. I would only use them if you have glass bumpers. I have some pics if your interested
