Re: A question about 8in Bumpers...

I would vote for Convex Perimeter - or maybe String Perimeter.

Bumpers must cover at least 8" on either side of the Convex Perimeter and be hard mounted to "frame" within 1" of the Convex Perimeter. Any Convex Perimeter side with Vertexes less than 8" apart must be completely covered by bumper, but this short side does not affect the 8" requirement for the other adjacent sides of these Convex Vertexes.
