Re: Bumpers

The rules for bumpers and their construction is very specific. Velcro will not hold the fabric in place during collisions.
From <R07>
E. The BUMPERS must be covered with a rugged, smooth cloth (1000 dernier Cordura PlusŪ strongly recommended). The cloth must completely enclose all exposed surfaces of the BUMPER backing (plywood) and cushion (pool noodle) material. It is recommended that lengths of aluminum angle be used to clamp the fabric in place.
