locky Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Is it possible to make a similar strength bumper to Tbones from a sheet of nylon? Cut and the bend with heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want to buy HDPE sheet. I buy from direct plastics, but smaller quantities are probably best off eBay! Heat gun gives you the heat to bend.... good luck!

locky Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 Made front bumper from 3mm HDPE for Hyper ST using Tbone as template, not bashed it yet to see how it compares in strength/robustness but feels flexible enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zannu Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Looking good, You will have to let us know how it holds up, and if HDPE is the right sort of plastic to be making bumpers out off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
