But if his car is Jan 49 he is looking for the earlier smooth type, not May/June49- grooved normal split type like pic. I think someone is US stocks the May/June49- type repros which would be nearer than uk, but cant remember who, the samba classifieds might turn them up. Ive also seen the repro banana overiders on there, it is getting the blades to Australia which will be the problem I think.
There was a good thread on these bumpers on this forum which is still here, do a search for this thread:
"Bannana Overriders Please?" ( thread started back in 2005!)
We have a couple of the normal split bumpers, it is finding good useable original fronts that is hard as they suffer so much more than rears, I got mine blasted and then cut & bent/pressed back into shape! :shock: Its not perfectly straight but suits my car and I didnt really want anything repro on it. Harder to do on a shiny car of course, repro probably the best option as old ones are nearly always rusty and or heavily pitted.
£270 for a good ORIGINAL front seems ok money for a straight/non rusty one to me!
