The rear bumpers on my 91 Westy burned in the PO's engine box fire and the cost of new plastic bumpers is out-of-sight$$$, so I found a metal bumper from a junker.

Mine looks OK . Good luck. Malcolm S Andrew wrote: > Does anyone know where I can find used replacement bumpers for '89gl. > Also, can one put the older style steel bumpers onto this later model?
