WTB -- Rear bumper rubber trim strip

[Dicks]

I'm looking for a decent rear bumper rubber trim strip to fit a 72/73 2002. I'm looking for one that doesn't have all of the mounting lugs broken off inside of the strip .

Or, does anyone have any good ideas on how to fix up / repair an old one?

Email is fine.

Thanks

do you know those are not attached to the strip? I mean they are avail separately?

I believe the rubber strip is the same for all Roundies that have the long side bumper extensions, but the sliding attachment fasteners (that fit inside the rubber strip groove) will have either clips or studs to fasten the trim strip to the bumper.

These pieces are usually rusted enough that you need to replace ALL the mounting hardware when messing with the trim strip (happened to me).

My 73 uses the stud type fasteners that have washers and nuts inside the bumper. If you look at the Euro rear bumper conversion on Keith Kreeger's tii website, his bumper used the clip type fasteners.

Bumpers with small rectangular slots use the clip fasteners

Bumpers with holes use the stud fasteners

I think the rubber strip on my Touring had a combination.

Threaded studs at the ends and an odd few along the length, the rest were clips.

However, it was over 20 years ago when I refurbished the Touring, and I have trouble remembering what I did last week now!
