MG TD TF 1500 - BUMPER OVERRIDER PROFILE

I don't know why I didn't notice this before but I was going to bolt the rear overriders on my back bumper and the profile is way off. The overriders I have are obviously for a different car. Does anybody know what car has a bumper with this profile?

Thanks,
Rich

Hi Rich,

Can't answer your query re car for your profile, but bear in mind when you do get the correct overrider, that you'll be lucky to find they match well.

For some reason correct profile bumpers have not been available for years,(unless others know better) and only original overriders and bumpers fit well. No plastic 'fillers' were originally used, but to my knowledge were available in the 1960s, to hide the profile differences then becoming apparent. On original bumpers the top flat was wider than the bottom - pattern replacements over the years have been symmetrical. Also see Archives.

Cheers,

Austin Healy. Not sure which model. Search archives, this was on the board a couple years ago, but I don't remember the details. George

Those bumper guards are off an Austin Healy 3000 and maybe other models as well.

This web page shows some like yours. They are for an Austin Healey BJ8 I believe:

Thanks guys!

I had searched the archives but couldn't find anything about the profile but could be I never found the right heading.

At least I now have a good idea what car I can advertise them for. If anyone is interested I need to sell them to help purchase the correct ones. They are in good condition, only one has a small dimple where it looks like it bumped against something.

Thanks again,
Rich
