Endura Bumper Resto
 

I have an Endura bumper that I was hoping could be restored - overall in good shape outside of a bad paint job and a split (3rd photo) on the bottom underside. Any thoughts on who could restore the bumper if it can be?

thanks in advance -

Jeff

The VE3 bumper consists of a steel liner with rubber molded over it. The bumper is not watertight, the liner is not coated and rusts over time, splitting the rubber as seen in the photo. In my parts days we had a few so rusted they were limp. I have seen attempts made to repair them but they look repaired and continue to blister.

Grind all the paint off with 80 grit. I would then cut a flap that fully exposes the rusted area. Grind the rust away and prep it properly and then use the 2-part urethane rubber bumper repair stuff as a glue to hold the flap back down and clamp it in place.

I have done the same with Cuda rubber bumpers. They all had a habit of breaking off the sealed-in bumper bolts and you had to do similar surgery to replace the bolts.

McGyver... is there anything you don't know how to fix?

OBTW.. I am having problems with my Illudium P36 Space Modulator... can you help me?

Thats a low and slow pitch over the plate...The Illudium P36 Space Modulator can be recailibrated just like an old GM points distributor. Grab an old match book and gap the Grepton dialubic flange to .019 and it should work just like new. Send me a postcard from Mars, and say Hi to Marvin when you're there!

What about soaking the bumper in Safest rust remover?

Re: Endura Bumper Resto
 

Unless you cut the access flaps, it wont be able to get to the rusty area. But its a good idea if it can reach the rust.

Thanks for all the feedback and suggestions -
