Hey just straighten it out with some hammers and stuff like I did!

Heh heh. Actually buying new or good used would have been a better
idea. Meh. Live and learn. Still mine look much better now!

As for "something different" for your Syncro, I have read that some
have scavenged (possibly with only slight mods) tube bumpers from Ford
Broncos (or ? model) from a wrecking yard. Archives may have more on
that. Or the Syncro list maybe.

Cheers,

Neil.
