GabeRoc Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 i have a '73 240z and i'm wanting to remove the rear bumper but i don't want to leave the fuel tank completely unprotected. i found this thread: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=73947 but all the pics are defunct and it's a little old. i was thinking of just bending a piece of 1.5" steel tube and welding it to the rear subframe behind the valence. does anyone have any insights or pics of how they dealt with this issue? thanks, -gabe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peej410 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 ive thought about doing the same thing, i think you want to go to a fuel cell if your doing this though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabeRoc Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 why? what direct benifit does a fuel cell have over, say, the stock tank in this situation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peej410 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 more space and a polypropelene bladder that conforms in impacts instead of tearing like metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank280zx Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 uuuhm yeah like the 240 bumper is going to be of any help in case of a wreck .. i think a fuel cell could be best, but i dont think removing the bumper will make t any worse ( used to euro bumpers i have to give that) but they are tin foil look parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
