    Help Sourcing Rubber Bumpers

    Hi all! My father and I just started a restoration on a 1978 Bertone x 1/9. Everything is going smoothly but I forsee a problem. I can't find the rubber bumper flares anywhere. I can find them for a 79-88 but nothing older than that. They are pretty worn down and cracked and I would like to...

    Euro style bumpers - black rubber

    The next set of rubber bumpers will be made out of black instead of gray rubber. Material is on its way, hope quality will be as good as the gray one.
