Project "Chihuahua" '65 Formula S Restoration "Estilo Mexicano"
Update: The last couple of months I have been on/off crutches thanks to a knee problem. After rest/therapy I will be slowly getting back into the swing of things (notwithstanding a relapse). Attached the rear bumper rubbers. A factory shouldered bolt for the corner pieces was broken, so I substituted a hard plastic tube cut to size and some new bolts with insert type locknuts. I imagine the factory shoulder on the bolts was to prevent over squishing the rubber.
With respect to the two "boomerang" shaped pieces, each was split at one of the two screw holes. I did not see that as a problem and installed them as is. I don't plan on ever using a bumper jack (don't have one) so those rubbers won't have much in the way of a functional role that I can foresee.
