I realize that 7-3/4" is totally to short but where would an inspector draw the line? an 1/8", a 1/16", a 1/32"? zero tolerance? Just asking
The inspector should be measuring the frame backing the bumper you are describing to determine if it is 8", then measure the plywood to make sure it is 8" as required by R27. I'll be using an ordinary measuring tape and if it is at 8" according to my tape measure, then I would pass the bumper. I wouldn't consider 7-3/4" to be 8".
