Crossmember Bars

[danws69 at earthlink.net (Dan)]

'87 16v Scirocco - had US bumpers, had crack starting by 145k mi...now
has Euro's and the Saltyweazle bar (crack stopped, handling stiffer)

'87 16v    -occo (? car-trailer) - no crossmember :)

'82 DIESEL Scirocco - US bumpers, no cracks (yet!!!), plan on installing
bar prior to any developing

'87 16v Scirocco (back-up shell) - US bumpers, no cracks, but, the
front-end was replaced at some point




Hope that helps,

Dan (^^^^ that was my sig....)

 Meaning some sort of stress was put on them... Like not changing your
motormounts for 20yrs..., getting in wrecks, taking the strong a$$ front
bumper off and replacing it with a decrotive peice of eurotrash. :-)...

Hmmmm. Very interesting point.  The Euro bumpers, I mean.  Brian may
have 
something

How about a nice, constructive poll?

How many have Eurobumper?
How many have US-spec bumpers?
How many have cracked crossmembers?
How many don't?

I'll start:

US-spec.......no cracks......220,000miles.  (But I just put Eurobumpers 
ON!!!...this may get interesting.)
