Well I could not find fiberglass bumper brackets for my 70 Duster so I just decided to make some my self. Here are some pic's and a step by step.

First I took the original bracket and covered it in aluminum foil.

Then I laid a layer of glass cloth then a layer of mat and then another of cloth. Pic is it after ruffing out.

Next two pic's are after removal of the original brackets, and laying another layer of mat and cloth to the inside.

And finally here they are painted, not perfect but will get the job done.

Now just three more to go.
 
Looks good. Nice work. If your running a glass bumper you should just need the two inside brackets.
 
Yep, I am planing on doing the chrome paint on the bumper so I will go with both brackets for the original look.
