I've never come across anyone who actually wanted to convert TO
a rubber bumper. I suspect this would be most difficult. I remember
reading somewhere that the sheetmetal under that rubber bumper is
completely different from what was there before, and about a hundred
pounds heavier. Trying to put a rubber bumper on a car that did not
orginialy have one, you would not have the right stuff to mount the
bumper too. I've never taken one apart so I could be wrong. If your
building a race car and are willing to make your own brackets and such
I think you could do it, but I doubt it would be worth the work involved.
The chrome bumpers you offer in trade most likely would not
bolt up correctly to car that orginally had a rubber bumper. If
it was possible, I'm sure people whould have done it. BTW, no I don't
have a rubber bumper to trade either, my 69 MGB has chrome bumbers that
I plan to keep, sorry.
