Bumpers and overriders

[JonnyT]

Dear All,

Just about to fit one of Dave's last set of bumpers and overriders. I would like to do justice to his craftsmanship as much as possible.

He indicated that we needed some M10 studding to fit them and I would like to do this in stainless studding if possible. Does anyone know how much of this I will need and also where I can get some - it seems really difficult to source.

Thanks,

Jon

Hi Jon,
I assume it is screwed rod you are looking for. If it is the same as the Hawk it is covered with 1/2" dia chrome tubing so the finish is not so important. About 1 metre of bright zinc plate should be more than adequate for the rear, available at most fastener stockists if not www.namrick.co.uk will supply.

Have a search for Studding on Screwfix web page.

They sell it in mild steel and Stainless steel. Stainless will be nicer as the cut ends will not rust.

Fitted the overriders now - they look really good.

However looking at the back of the overrider you can see inside quite clearly. I know some people have plates over these to make them look much better - is that something that is available to buy or do you have to make them?

Thanks,

Jon

Hi Jon,
The ones supplied by Hawk are covered on the top half.

[JonnyT]

The ones we have were from Brass Craft - do you think the hawk covers would fit?

[Clive]

Jon, the covers are not seperate. It is a one piece unit.

Any ideas Dave???!!!

I use the Dax ones these days. The backs are fully enclosed.
