Today I decided to put the bumpers back on my DOKA.  The end pieces were
cracked, of course, so I got out the old epoxy and went to work.  Then I
thought, "Why not try to purchase these online?"  So I looked, and they are
not expensive.  Then I thought another thought, "How about that big pile of
parts I keep around the wife wants me to clean up and throw out?"  You all
know that pile, it's the one we all have in the basement/garage/shed
gathering a fine layer of dust and dirt.  So I looked, and Viola!  Final
justification for a decade of storage!  I had good ends from my 81 that
matched, of course, my 91.  SO I just put them on.  I was going to add the
broken ones to the pile  for future emergencies, but the stern look from the
wife told me it was time to be decisive. So I THREW THEM OUT!  Yep, I did
it, even surprised the wife.  I am a man of decision.  And just to prove the
point, that I can indeed throw things out, I took the busted ends and
mounted them on the shed wall.  There, a permanent testimonial that I can
throw things out when I have to.
