Hey Kris, Welcome to the list! On your question about the black pipe behind the front bumper, that is a factory reinforcement bar to help in accidents. I think it was added in 1970. I am sure some of the old school people on the list would know the exact date it was put into production. later, jesse 71 fi squareback Kris Savage wrote: On mine there is a piece of pipe that is behind the bumper. It has been bent to go through each hole making like a U. Is this some kind of bumper reinforcement or some dark sided tow bar ect? It fits behind the bumper well and doesn't seem to bother anything. And if it is someone add-on, then why or what for. They would have had to remove the bumper and have it custom bent to fit! ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
