... I guess they're okay if you want your car to look like a shopping cart ... Or a pram.  |

Buggy bars, love'em. I have had them on two different cars 20yrs apart.
What about Doug Berg's buggy? I saw him run it a number of times and never thought to take a close look at it. Does anyone have detailed pictures of it? It alsways seemedl like en economical way to go racing.

Bumper history....
Around the early 70's California just inacted a law requiring bumpers on all cars. Most VW were going with t bars to meet the requirement. As my front bumper holes were filled, and I really didn't want to re-open them, I needed something that would mount under the car. I took a original rear buggy bumper that mounted to a skid plate, bent it in slightly...cut off the access, and used that. We, (auto haus) eventually started making them with the correct curve and length for use with bugs.

Here I am bringing up old posts again
I quite like the front buggy bars, it would help as I can attach my front number plate to it!
Now does anyone know where you can get them, I like the ones with a bit of a kink in the front?
Thanks

Hi,
I´d like to come back to the question if Buggy bars are available anywhere?
Is there a source in Europe or Germany?
Thanks in advance,
Tobi

Thanks! That looks goog! I just found out, that Paruzzi in the netherlands has them too, but not at the moment. Has somebody a Picture from the mounting of the Buggy bar? It seems that you have to built it yourself. Or am I wrong? Thanks again!

I think I will try one on mine, as I am a bit worried I will get pulled over by the police if I run the T bars!!
Who sells a rear bar or do you just modify the front to fit the rest?
Thanks
Dave

. . . do you just modify the front to fit . . . ?
Actually, you modify a pair of rear buggy bars . . . one for each end of your Bug!  A "REAR" buggy bumper on the front of my '67. Thanx to Worm for the photo! |
