(since in some cases the brackets weigh as-much-as the bumper itself) From that date forward ....I then made brackets for any of the bumpers we made ...and started making brackets for as many of the others as possible. In a couple of contacts here and elsewhere recently ... I have started to make the brackets ....BEFORE the redo of the bumper it-self.
