Default Bumper Frame Tie in

Does any one have a blue print for a front bumper bracket that ties into the frame? I need it for a bumper build.

I see them for sale fabricated for $60-100 all over the net. I would rather make my own, but have all the holes line up on the first try. More time for the fun part of building the bumper. LOL

You all fabbed bumpers. Help us all out. Mine is an '01.

Thanks.

Cardboard/poster board/card stock template. Thin enough to be able to roll it when needed for forming, strong enough to hold its shape and easy to cut with a razor knife.

Haven't used it. Can't guarantee the measurements.

Here's one Im still working on. Im gonna make out of 1/4" steel. Than build a tubular bumper. As long as the template fits you shouldn't have any problems. Ill also tack weld them together so they end up the same.

No. I don't like Volkswagens. Just my name. I am going to try to make a template today b/c this info should really be on this forum.
