Mystery overriders

Post by jamie »

I bought these the other day to put on my car, but it turn-out they're to fit a slightly different bumper:

Can anyone tell me what 911 they are off?

I might buy a Dremel and butcher them to fit, since they were cheap and will tide me over till I can get some new ones.

Don't US cars have the same bumpers as Euro cars? From the shape of the cut-out in these overriders, it looks like they are for a bumper with a shallower rubber lip and perhaps a chrome strip along the front.

Nick, I'd be interested in a set for my 73 911T which I think has the larger rubber trim. I'm also after some back ones.

Scott - I'm sure I have a spare pair for the rear if Nick hasn't.

I have a stack of these in the shed.. some rough some NEW NOS I am not sure how I keep getting all this stuff :?

Standard ones I think if no one else on here can help you I know I have a load of them..

Now your ones you have I think are repro's as they have the solid back to them as per the picture. Orginal ones had a plastic back ( I am sure Andy will tell me if I have got this the wrong way round.. ) :| but then I am remebering that the later ones had this...... Andy tec bod there is a difference I can't remeber what though... :?:

These are mine. I found them. There's a bit of surface rust on the inside and sime bubbling on the bottom. They're not as good as I remember them. They fit S bumpers.

Kind of lost track of the topic - looks like I need S-bumper overriders (although my car doesn't have an S-bumper?!). Anyone have some available?

Nick,

Do you have front and back ones you're getting rid of? Am looking for some good ones, but as 912uk says if they would buff up ok I could be interested.
