Bumper Shocks

[pete]

Does anyone know where I can find a set of front bumper shock absorbers and the brackets that connect them to the bumper? My 1978 came with solid
mounts and I would like to replace them. Thanks to Billy, I have a set of rear shocks now looking for the 5 mph front & brackets.

I have 4 bumper shocks. No brackets though. PM me if you're interested.

I have the bumper shocks with the brackets. They are yours for the shipping
costs.

Shawn, Thank you for the offer. But since Bruce has the brackets too, I will take him up on his offer.

Thank you again and Merry Christmas.

The bumper absorbers are reusable after impact if

They extend back out to their full length after being compressed.

They do not leak fluid after their return.

Couple things to keep in mind.

That is interesting. I didn't realize that they were really shock absorbers. I kind of just assumed that they were springs. But I have been
refering to them as shocks, so I should have realized.

I cleaned up Billy's set in my blast cabinet and come to think of it did see a seal.

Bruce, I PM'd you. Will your set clean up and be serviceable?

I do like the idea of a shock to protect the composite front and rear caps. They didn't find any damage when they stripped my coach and with the new
bumpers, I want to keep it that way.

They should be good to go.

Quite welcome Pete. If the others don't work out for you, I'm sure mine will still be available.

Merry Christmas to you as well!
