WTB: Blade bumpers/overriders for an oval
I'm chasing some euro blade style bumpers and 4 overriders to suit for my '55 oval. In Brisbane would be best, they don't have to have a perfect
finish, some surface rust would be fine, some pitting etc etc as they will be for it as a rat to start with, but would like them to be pretty damn
straight for minimal work when re-chroming later on.
At the moment it has some later towel rail bars on it, minus the rails, but with holes and missing overriders, so keen to get it back to the correct
bumpers.
Thanks
Michael

Michael. These are the ones I mentioned. They're ratty alright! Can't work it out but I reckon they're both fronts. Can stick 'em on a bus for
bugger all. Anyway they're here if you can't find any in Vegas.

Brad, they look pretty good for what I'm after for the rat look, but are they nice and straight, and would they basically only need a rechrome to
bring them back to perfect if I want to later?
They are perfectly ratty for the 55 as will be first up, plus I can use my 2 overriders I've already got anyway.
What makes them front or rear, I thought they were the same bar front/rear?!?!?
I'll see what pops up on here over the weekend, otherwise I'll take them from you for sure!!!
Thanks

positioning of the overiders makes them different.
front is closer together i think.

ok so the actual bar isn't different?
Front overriders position/bolt on the outer bumper bracket bolt hole, the ones pictured above are on the inner which isn't right I don't think, so
just move them to the outer hole.
Rears have holes in the middle of both bracket mount holes, so if both are fronts, I guess just drill some holes in between for the correct mounting
of the overriders, so essentially 2 fronts would be fine if the actual bar is the same!?!?!?

some ppl move the overriders in to cover a crack in the bar after gettin it hooked on somethin.
looks better if u have 4 overriders then..had it in the 60's on my 54
the ones in the pic are too close
add 2 and it will be strong and good looking
am after a neat front blade soon myself...have overriders etc
want any vw bits old but like me, Made in Germany!!!
