All the bumpers should be the same, just brackets ( front and back) and overriders (sI-3 and IV-V) change.
If you are looking for the Vietnamese made harrington staimless repro bumpers the factory overriders do not fit them apparently
looking to buy a stainless steel bumper
Dan,You can really believe the post you received about the "stainless steel bumpers" They are near absolute worthlessness...
I have ended up buying two sets from them and have no issues. Great communication and fast shipping, excellent packaging. They are thinner, hence lighter than the factory bumpers and will shine forever without rusting out. Have not checked on the pricing recently, but from what I remember they were not that expensive. If you do go with them get the rubber for the over riders from Sunbeam Specialties, the ones they provide and not thick enough. Other than that, you can't beat em.Hello,
Anyone obtained the stainless bumpers from Vietnam recently? https://www.ebay.com/itm/3949397933...uid=rulkijstqw2&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
The last quote I got a couple years ago for chrome work on bumpers was around $2000 for both bumpers and the over riders not including any significant "repairs" to the bumpers! This makes the replacements tempting, but I have read conflicting reports on quality. Posters above in 2019 seem to imply the production quality has gone up. I want as close to original look, but not necessarily worried about concours. Be interested in any advice.
Thank you
Rick
How many years ago was that? I had two original bumpers re-chromed in 2021 in Cincinnati and they were $1,000 each.I have had stock ones rechromed by the outfit in East Tennessee and one in Dallas, Georgia both were very reasonable $750- $900 for a pair.
