Re: Bumper Covers

We used the AndyMark covers this year and it was such a tight fit that it took three persons to install it.

One item that caused it to be tight is that we used the KOP C-Base Drive Chassis in the "Narrow Setup" as per the instructions (37.25 x 27.25). The second is that we mitered the pool noodles to give is maximum dimensions at the corners...

If you made your frame smaller or cut the pool noodles shorter, you are going to have a baggy bumper cover.

Regards,

Mike
