M series Stainless Bumpers

[prideaux]

About 18 months ago I contacted Harringtons asking if they made these they did not at the time however they asked if I had a set they could copy however I did not at the time and I also felt that they needed an original set from an early car to get it as close as possible.
18 months later they have done just that and done them in Stainless rather than chrome which is great as fitting them on a later car there will probably need to be some fettling to get them fitting nice however if they need trimming a little then there is no chrome to damage just thought I should let others know like any pattern part I would not expect them to be a bolt on fit but should be an easy enough job to get right at about I believe they are about £600 a set

Just to show the difference in fit between the rubber bumpers and chrome on a later car the gap is certainly larger but still looks correct IMOP





One I found on the web maybe someone can post a close up the would show the difference better

I got a mail yesterday from these guy's www.classicworldracing.co.uk they have them as well.

Great to see that they are doing them as when I talked with them 18 months ago they had no plans to do so well done we need our specialist suppliers so try and use them as much as possible

Great that these are available again but I'm sure David Gerald had them approx 10 years ago as we were going to buy a set for ours, remember him saying he hardly sells any as they were only fitted to pre 73 m's originally.

Yes and they are doing them as well the link to the pictures on the other thread show that with careful fabricating to the stainless ones you can achieve a near perfect fit as Adrian says easier to take material off rather than add material

I got this picture of bumpers from the Night shift not sure whats going on here but they have used the rubber strip on one on a MK1 Grantura

Edited as I have now been told that that was OE on some early MK1 Granturas
