simple bumper-saver for the garage

[MG Man]

if you have tight parking quarters, or like me, u have to park a few cars very close, nose to tail, this little tool will make it easy to park very close every time without having to worry about touching your front bumper.

It is simply a flat pece of wood or steel on the floor, with a stopper nailed / welded to the end. As the car rolls up onto the flat section, the wheel will stop on the bump-stop, which cannot move, because it's attached to the flat piece the car is resting on....simple and effective, as long as it stays in place, and you use the same car in the same spot...




version 2 has two stoppers, and prevents the car rolling back under its own weight

^^^not my idea tho
I saw them for sale in an Old English Car catalog, and I figured why pay for it when u can make it with scraps lying around the garage

nice. so i got one to toss out there to you guys. what if you just want something that wont rub the paint off a wall (or the bumper) that the front bumper must go as close as possible to for the car to fit? any ideas?

[MG Man]

if u talking about something to put on the wall, u can try sticking some high density foam found in appliance packaging, or rubber pipe insulation, but the gizmo I posted above will serve the same purpose..........

^^^ what he said

I park very close to a wall at home and use a similar device to what MGMan posted, except I have a downward sloping garage and have a piece of pipe across the ground

roll in slowly an when the wheel touches the pipe, the car stops

tyres take up space...this allows you to park right up to the wall or the other car
