Manx-Type Front Bumper Mounting Brackets | Weld-In | Sold as a Pair

Short answer: These are weld-in brackets that weld to the VW front beam to carry a standard Manx-style front bumper, sold as a pair. They fit the VW Type 1 front beam, all years, on Meyers Manx-type dune buggy builds.

These weld-in front bumper mounting brackets are made for Meyers Manx-type dune buggies. They weld directly to the front VW beam to mount standard Manx-style front bumpers — perfect for replacing original mounts or adding new mounting points. Sold as a pair. This is a Washburn's-original: cut and formed in-house at our shop in Orange, California, so the material, the tolerances, and the finish are ours end to end.
