[T3] Bumpers for 71' squareback.

[fess <fess-vwtype3.org@fess.org>]

So, I have a 71' squareback that I'm slowly trying to get back into 
decent shape.

the bumpers are both bent up, and the front bumper the molding is 
falling off
and warped and rusted. ( the rubber molding has a metal backing. )

what's the best way to deal with this,  should I investigate having 
them straightened,
( someone once suggested this, but I've never heard of straightening 
chrome bumpers. )
or just find replacements?

on the replacement front,  I don't have a lot of time to go to junk 
yards and such.
so are there after market bumpers? are they any good? I know in the T1 
world, that they were often
very thin and cheap and rusted quickly.

Suppliers? I know of no other supplier other than West Coast Metric, at 
the moment.

if it's about finding a used set, what's the easiest way to hunt those 
down?
( perhaps maybe good junk yards with pull and ship service. )

thanks.
