bishbosh Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Morning all, I want to make an HD rear bumper for the RR. It will have two recovery hoops and will have a fairlead mounted to it for the rear winch. It will not carry the winch itself - that is mounted in a cradle within the chassis rails. I really want some 100 x 70 x 5 box or maybe 100 x 100 x 5 box. The stockholders round here don't carry either and will only get in whole lengths (7.5m) which is slightly more than I will need!! So, can anyone point me in the direction of a source of about 2.5 m of the stuff? Cash waiting and all that! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishbosh Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 Have I infected you ? Maybe.... . I am sick of replacing rear lenses so I am going to do my best to make sure the bumper minimses it happening again....... hopefully......

nickm Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 might be worth checking the price for the 7mtr IMS round this way charge the same for a whole length as they would for an off cut robbing g1ts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_warne Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 What about welding 2 sections together back to back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 All sorted now - a very nice man has come to my aid! Will - back to back is OK for bending strength, but recovery points can be a pain if the wall thickness isn't up to it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrover598 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 There's at least a dozen full lengths of 100x100x8 on the rack in work if you need something a bit stronger Bish (Also a few other sizes) I think the 150x100x10 we've got is a bit OTT though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Yeah - I was down the scrappy and he had some 100 x 100 x lots on the heap - I was tempted but in the end sanity shone through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
