In search of parts for my Kaymar KA80 Rear Bumper with tire carrier swing out. It is missing the lenses for the lights and the rubber stop/hook that the swing out attaches to (pic below of what I think it should look like). Let me know if you have one available or know of a source or alternate part. Thanks

Spent way much time painting but all the knuckle parts look brand new now. Went to put it all back together only to fubar both inner axle seals upon install.

Murphy strikes again. That usually happens to me when I don't order extras. If I do, they go in perfectly on the first try.
 
@Jtranum how did you prep your parts? You blast them, or just purple power and lots of elbow grease? This is on my to-do list and I got some "real" paint from my local tnemec rep and want to do my prep as good as possible, short of having it blasted.

Parts washered everything first with a wire brush hose attachment to get the 19yrs of road grime off. I then used a 3m abrasion brush, I think that's what it's called. It's like a plastic foam wheels for a die grinder. For priming I used an industrial oil based etching primer and then top coated everything with a sherwin Williams industrial enamel.
 
Thank you sir.

I don't know how much bigger the 80 is over the mini truck, but I got a threaded pvc pipe and got an end on it that would fit in the center but shoulder on the seal and slowly tapped it in with a mallet when I did my mini truck. Cost me like 3 dollars and worked perfect!
 
I wish these woulda been available for the 100. Had to do the whole replace the RC car motor on my hundy. These are available for the 80 as a whole unit for cheap. Wtf
