you need a lathe or a friend with a lathe and then you need to decide how you want to make it swing (it can be done without the lathe and by using bb's) but I'm doing it the right way
 
thats not an issue, id prefer it on bb, and have had a few ideas but the ones in USA are sealed units which would be better IMO less water ingress and sh!t getting in, so less chance of rusting/siezing up, grit getting at bearings
 
Ok here's some pics of the skeleton of the bumper. Trim to go on tomorrow and no idea why it looks curved but it isn't as I checked it with the level.

Its going to have light reflector panels up top and a 3/16th top plate with some side bracing too so you can jack off the body area as well if needed

Bumper 99% complete, couple of small cuts to make and a few bits to finish seaming together but this is a pre-production version as it were as I'll be making a few modifications in order to decrease fabrication time on the bumper such as folded sides with reenforcement bars instead of a combination of angle and plate


This one will be available for £125 OBO upon completion which includes a new set of chassis to bumper mounts, these are weld in though! Two versions are available too, one which requires cutting of the rear wheel arch in order to incorporate a slider section and a smaller version that doesn't, the smaller version will be up at £130 instead of £140
