Hi!
I have to get my 1987 Volvo 480 a new rear bumper beam since the old one has completely rusted out. I haven't found any new ones, so I wondered if there are specs of the spare part flying around on the internet? I tried searching the forums and google to no avail.
If I could get specs accurate enough that I could ask for offers from metal workshops, that would be awesome.
I must not be the only one who is struggling through a replacement rear bumper beam so I ask here!

If you are feeling flush, you can pay £400 for a new and improved one from Germany that should last forever.

Re: Rear bumper beam specs wanted
Thank you for the replies!
jifflemon: that's the part exactly I'm looking for. I was interested mainly on the outside dimensions: rough height, width and depth for a steel (?) bar to replace it with.
Although now I'm interested in the fiberglass version. I'll have to look into that.
Thank you both!
