Rear bumper end caps


Recommended Posts

Guys, I just thought of something. Parts like these can easily be cast and duplicated. I have experience doing this.

 

A pourable two-part product is surely available that cures into a semi-flexible plastic. Have not done any research, but there's gotta be something available.

 

The question I have are these threaded metal pieces... are they actually embedded into the rubber?

Yes. I tried to take one apart to replace the bolts internally and let’s just say that was a pain in the butt to get out. The plastic is formed around the metal plate that has two studs in there.

Just what I thought, figured the plastic was formed around some sort of a flat piece. There's gotta be a workaround to bolt these caps to the actual bumper.

 

I'll take a look at my caps and start thinking of an alternative.

 

There's ALWAYS a future MJ project to think of :laugh:


I’ll have to look and see what I did. I know I did something to make a complete bumper.

If you need a good set to go off of I believe I have one....

Thanks for letting me know this. I'm the one who bought that pair on eBay. May very well reach out and see if I can use them.

 

I'll start a new topic in the near future. Keep that pair handy please.
