Got an inquiry from a friend asking about the Sunbeam Alpine Bumpers on "How should they be Mounted" and what kind of spacing ??
Hi Dan – I’m trying to figure out which direction to go with my bumpers. They need to be massaged to get into correct form before chroming but I don’t have any access to correct dimensions here in the hinterlands.....
I’ve searched the forum a bit and found a few helpful tidbits. I’m wondering if you might be able to (when you have a chance) take a few measurements on your cars that could help us get ours fitted. I think things like vertical distance from the lip of the bumper to valence (both front and back) and the tip to tip measurement of the bumper as well as the horizontal distance from the tip of the bumper to the fender (both front and back) would be very helpful.
I believe the tip to tip distance is 57 ¾” but I’d like to confirm that.
I’m considering the stainless steel bumper alternative as well…since my car will be anything but concours. I don’t care specifically about originality but from what I can gather on the forum and other places, the quality of the stainless repros isn’t that hot. Maybe you have some thoughts on that also.
As always, thanks for your help.
