I’ve re-engineered my bumper (tried to make it both more accurate and easier to de-mold) as well as rethought my molding process.
I’m happy with the way the new bumpers have come out and I hope you will be to. The bumpers have a moderate, movie-accurate seam that can be sanded off.
Dimensions (all measurements approximate):
Overall Height: 5.75"
Inside Height: 4.5"
Inner Width: 11.75"
Outer Width: 13:
The bumper can flex approximately 1" in width and fits all currently available shells.
The bumpers are shipped straight from the mold and may require some trimming/cleanup. Due it’s shape, the underside may have bubbles -these are not apparent when mounted to the pack
The price is $45 plus $12 shipping (within the US). If you’re international I’ll have to figure out your shipping cost.
Can I ask what is the inside width? I’m doing a scratch build, and frankly the bumper is one part I don’t intend to tackle myself. My Synch gen comes to a hair over 12 1/4", so I’m concerned as to whether a pre-made bumper would have enough give to accommodate my less than stellar measurements…
Alright, so I just have to say this is a great bumper! It arrived after just two days and fits an old Funkzilla shell; very little needed to be done to finish it, I.e., minimal sanding of the seem (personal taste) and a small area on the very bottom to fill in as he already pointed out. You cannot go wrong and I will be buying another when I build my next pack!
Are the bumpers still available? I’m currently doing a scratch build pack, and the bumper is not something I’m looking forward to. So if I can buy one I’ll be more than happy to pay the money for it.
I’m interested in a bumper as well if they are still available, and syckotheklown is right, anyone in need of bumpers now can check out wiz his bumpers are very nice.
All, I’ve redone the bumper and created a new mold. I’m getting nice clean pulls that require minimum clean-up. Afraid there’s a bit of a price bump -the bumpers are $45 plus $12 shipping (US/domestic).
I’ve got 5 bumpers in-hand and can pour more on demand.
