BUMPERS ARGHHH!!!!

[chinckley]

I am so confused on these bumpers. The rules seem much more nebulus than in years prior. Is there an upper limit as to how high the bumper can be placed? Bottom limit? In the past they could be between the 2 and 8 inch mark from the ground. Someone mentioned they thought it was the 7inch limit for top. Can anyone confirm?

Also, I am not understanding Figure 8-4. I do not understand the okay versus not okay drawing. If the backing is within the 38" limit what is the problem?

I have read and read and read all the chief Delphi posts and the Q&A posts and am really confused. Is there one thread that really explains all this. I have been working on bumpers all the years we have had them and this is the first year of confusion.

Thanks for your patience.
