Thread: rubber or no rubber in front bumper

    rubber or no rubber in front bumper

    Seen some HZ sandman vans with rubber strip in front bumper and some without. Was this another factory option or just addition or removal by owner?

    Cheers

    No Rubber on my HZ. Most originals I have seen don't have the rubber. Optional extra.

    Robbo, were you told a reason why it was inadvisable to get it?



    Some Sandmans were optioned with the rubber insert so if you really want one you can fit it and still be factory correct.
