    64? RF Bumper guard

    No slot on the back. Apparently a PO drilled holes for a rubber impact pad. Has a good sized dent in the front, too. Driver quality, according to my personal interpretation. $100.00 plus shipping and any applicable fees. Ca residents will need to pay sales tax.

    Regards

    Jim

    I think the slots were before these, ie 1964-March 1965. I do not know when the ones like on offer here have ended and the ones with the plastics backs were introduced. With or without slots are not often for sale, there are also no repros as far as I know.

    No slots were first. Then the slots.
    Changeover to plastic back was early 1968 (IMHO).

    Any idea why slots at all? Due to the slots they collect dirt and leaves. It might be coincidental but the no slots seem to have stand time much better as does the metal of the bumper underneath.

    Just my $.02 and curiosity.

    Most likely cheaper to manufacture.

    Funny I would have thought just the opposite. Seems that without the slot condensation inside would have no place to go, at least it could evaporate through the slot at the top. But Jules could be right
