Making tubular bumpers.

(1/3) > >>

fram:
Going to have a go at making our own tubular bumpers very soon for our Disco 1. Just wondered if anyone else had made them and if so could you give any advice, eg, lengths of pipe and angles to cut.
Any advice would be much apreciated.

i just had some made for me at a cost that was very good
he even put light protectors on for a small extra
he's just starting up company calling it guardian off road products
baised in spalding lincs

fram:
Hi mate thanks for that, but as I can weld and have access to a welder and can buy the steel from a local supplier I reckon I can make both front and back for under a ton. The steel company will bend pipe as well for a small charge, so I am hoping to have all the tube bent and cut and then just have to weld together myself, makes life easier.
Thanks
Fram.

I'm making a new front bumper so I can have HD recovery points on the front, with towball to accept a removable winch.  Anyway what I've decided on is a pair of 'dumb irons' likeon a series with the bumper bar bolted to the top once in place.  Not only will it be lighter to manhandle but easier to line up and allow for production tolerance too.

Made this the other week end tubes cut at 10 Deg as centre section tight back but true angle on the front is closer to 15 Deg
