    say phil, what type of aluminum did you use to make your bumper fillers?
    did you also make the one that surrounds the license plate? i could use any info/measurements to try and make a set for my 75 le sabre.

    Thanks Rob for posting the KPH speedo's picture. I don't understand why it's not graduated in miles like my former 76 Electra's speedo and all the 76 speedos I saw. It gives me hope to find one someday!

    To make them, I used parts from 77" plates that were used on an old Harris offset printing press.
    The reason I used this is because it was free but I could have used aluminium that is used for window capping.

    I also used short fiber fiberglass (the fibers are invisible, it's similar to plastic but a bit stronger) to make it flatter. The result isn't perfect but it's not too bad considering the time and money I spent on them! The 75-76 fillers are different and are probably a bit harder to make because the tail lights do not extend all the way to the license plate (see pic). There was almost nothing of the old fillers left so I did everything including the part below the license plate.
