Hot Rods Bumpers required in Manitoba?

Looking for some advice from Manitoba hot rodders here on the hamb. Finishing a full fendered 5 window deuce for a Manitoba, Canada customer. Wondering if the car is required to have bumpers? Any other licensing/safety hitches for Manitoba I need to be aware of as we finish this car? many thanks.

thank you. Hmmm defrost on a deuce. that's gonna be tricky

 

I've been informed (unofficially) that the rules regarding fenders are being re-written at this time. So in the very near future we will not need fenders. As far as I know though, and more in keeping with your question, bumpers will still be required. I'll try and get more information but it may take a few days and will still be unofficial, at least for the time being.

 

I prefer the look of bumpers on a full fendered 32 so that wouldn't be an issue with me.

 

47 Fords had defrost. Just a little heater boss under the dash and two tubes running to small vents under the windshield

So, it seems it may be awhile for these amendments to be added to Manitoba's highway traffic act. It's government, and the wheels turn slowly when you want change.

I guess that at least for the time being, following the guidelines in the link provided: http://www.msra.mb.ca/my_folders/Documents/Specialty_Vehicle_requirements_MSRA.pdf would be the thing to do.

 

Here in Iowa,USA, I got by with having a vintage school bus fan for a windshield defogging device. I still have mine mounted, but could easily be removed. My fenders and bumpers fell off about a week after my inspection and I've never been hassled in 30K mi.

thx for the input. it will remain full fendered, lots of money/work making it so. Unchopped 5w looks good with them on. thanks for the input, much appreciated.

 

Isn’t the factory defrost opening the windshield a little? They didn’t say it has to work well
