Glassteks i guess is made of fiberglass?
I dont want that since i know it doesnt stay in shape.
And i dont have any steel brackets at all. If i did i would have them acid dipped.
So i guess really want alu brackets.
I know ive read about someone making them.
I will ask over at fabo.

Member fullmetaljacket made some for a 71 Duster I had many moons ago, looked similar to the originals but in aluminum.

I did half and half. Steel half I went after with a hole saw, the other half is fiberglass. I'm not a big fan of the bumper jiggle.

Wish I had the time to make 'em again, but works gets in the way as well as my own heavy B-body. LOL..
There is a guy I believe that loiters on here or is indeed a member that makes them exceptionally like I use to.
They seem to be reasonably priced as well being that they take a fair amount of days to make unless you have a jig made up already. They look just like stock for the most part. Check on here or jot down aluminum brackets and see what pops up.
Mine were a labor of love and only a few dozen pairs were ever made. Took off a fair amount of weight right from the front end.

i just emailed the final autocad drawing for 67-69 Dart front and rear, 70-72 duster rear, already have the front, 70-72- dart rear, already have the front. 65 coronet front. Working on the 67 -69 barracuda front and rears, 73 -76 duster and dart front and rears. More to come. I emailed to water jet guy sunday. hope to hear from him this week with a final sample. The 67-69 dart front brackets weigh about a pound. [image]
[/image]
if this picture works, here is what they look like on my duster, the 67-69 dart will look similar.
They will sell for $75 pair. I also have aluminum carriage bolts, nuts flats and locks and aluminum tube fender rods. The 3/8 carriage bolts are $2 a unit. The fender rods are $15 pr. Thanks

Honesty for $450 STOP THE PROCESS. There are some available for $75 that are done with a CAD program.... I can't justify the extra cost here.
Motorhead446 like I've been saying on the other forum as soon as they're ready for 73-76 Duster I'm a buyer

Those are beautiful pieces...look like jewelry to me. I am always impressed when someone turns out a perfect part. It would look a little out of place on my junk, though
and way over my budget.

We just laid carbon fiber over the stock steel brackets as a mold. My 64 Belvedere front and rear brackets weighed 26 lbs. The new ones total 2.4 lbs. They do fine holding the stock steel bumpers. Got to have chrome.

Do ya think they hold a steel bumper? Also do you have rear ones for a Demon also? I am very interested in a set. Were you the guy that had a booth at the Indy cyl head trade show & swap meet last year?

Yes that was me. Im not comfortable saying they would hold a steel bumper. On a demon its very possible being a lighter bumper. Ive been asked if I would make 1/4" thick brackets and at some point I will. I want to get what im working on now rolling along before getting into more. I plan to have the rear brackets in the next week.
