Re: [DFTF] Bumper Tips...
Joe-
I believe Great Stuff would not be legal, but is an interesting idea. Maybe worth a proposal to the GDC for next season.
I would recommend making two sets of bumpers for changing colors. We tried the reversible bumper and while it worked, we found it to be a little more cumbersome than a nicely designed quick change set.
I would also encourage you to continue on the path towards a bumper set that is a total of one or two pieces. I'm partial to the two piece "U" assembly which is basically like two c's sliding on from each side and connecting in the middle.
Pulling the fabric tight helps to hold the noodles in place, and with the angled aluminum, the fabric will not tear after repeated impacts.
