Bumper blades - are they all the same?

Post by **Poppy** » Wed Feb 20, 2008 11:16 am

I know that front and rear are different but do they fit all models? I need new ones for my 1951 MM Tourer and don't want to get the wrong ones .. they're very expensive aren't they!

Thanks,

Well I know the front valence is slightly different up to 1954 cars but I think the blades are the same apart from the early split bumbers, Its probably best to speak to one of the large suppliers just to make sure.

*LCV BORE ALERT* The LCV ones are different again - shorter, and usually not chromed. Quite how that's helpful, I'm not sure, but there it is...

The highlight MM & Early S11 front bumper blade was different in that the position of 2 of the bolt holes are different. Later ones will fit but you would need to make 2 extra holes in your valance - and if you fitted overiders these would then obscure the sidelights.

Early bumper blades are not available new - you need to find good 2nd hand & have them plated.

This is the correct early blade - the overiders on the later one would line up with the sidelight.
