Default Endura bumper repair / replace

My 1970 GTO front bumper is cracked pretty bad. Trying to decide repair / replace? Anyone had experience with either? Fiberglass aftermarket? Thanks

If you call in to Ames they can send you a print out of a "How to repair a 68-72 Endura Bumper" page.

Another thing; my 400 /th400 has a/c, and if I turn it on the idle drops too low and will die. Does anyone know the correct electric idle stop and bracket that mounts to the quadrant to fix this, and where to wire it to? Thanks!

I meant quadrajet…

Might want to start a new thread for this if you don't get a proper response.

My '68 was a mess,I was able to straighten and get very good fit. I was glad I tried.
One note made all adjustments with all wheels on the ground.

ENDURA BUMPER REPAIR & PREP

http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/....php?p=4578171

Have cut & pasted & printed out post #2 by Paul F. in the above thread & handed it to local bodymen that I've referred to using SPI Epoxy on project cars & customers cars with endura noses. Great recommendations by Paul!
