Re: BUMPERLESS IN MINNESOTA
I'm sure the MN and ND DMVs have a web site you can easily find with a quick search. Somewhere on those sites you may be able to find out what the bumper requirements are, if there are any. If not I'd do a search for the MN and ND Motor Vehicle Code; I'll bet the entire thing's online.fiat218 wrote:NO bumper on the 79
what can i do to fix that, other then add bumpers, there must be another solution to make it a bumper car
against the law in minnesota/northdakota

Tobi - I'll have to keep an eye out for you. I haven't seen a bumperless Spider in person. I've tucked mine, but will be removing this winter.

Re: BUMPERLESS IN MINNESOTA
Thought about this on the way home last night. I wonder if you could fit those Nurf or Nerv bars - or whatever they are called that people were putting on the VW's back in the 80's. Those might look pretty cool.

Re: BUMPERLESS IN MINNESOTA
Katsi, Jim,
Give me a day or two to document what I've come up with. I used 1 5/8" diameter exhaust tubing and made an angled "T" bar that fits into the stock bumper shock mount. The rubber gasket surround from the rear bumper tubes are used as the T bar exists the oval hole in the front, covers everything and looks good.
I found some turn signal lights at NAPA that look close to the original early turn signals and mount in the square holes without modifications to the sheet metal.
