Re: [T3] bumpers


I picked up a front Type 3 bumper with very good chrome and deluxe rubber
and two mounting bars for £40.  From the Stanfoird hall show.  Its going to
be my 'Show only bumper', I have a reasonable front for normal everyday
use....

No; Type 3 and 4 rears (from '70 model Type 3s, and all Type 4) are the
same (and they are used on the later KGs, sadly).  Fronts from '72 model
Type 3s are used on KGs; these have a cut away rear edge to clear the KG
body.  Incidentally, they use the same bumper rubbers as the rears, but the
straight rear-edge fronts need a longer rubber.

The best you can do is polish and wax the chrome, or re-chrome (£100 is a
target price for that - each!).  A bit of aluminium paint will hide the
spots.  Volksheaven had a good rear bumper from the USA for £60 at Stanford
Hall.
