ive been looking at the bumpers that they fit on the busses they stil produce,i no il have sort the irons to fit ,thats not a prob just wondered if any ones got a pic of one on there early,as the profile is slightly diferent.there only £70 new and straight :shock: :D
 
Are these the front bumpers without the side steps? the ones with the rounded edges (bit like an early rear bumper?).
 
Covin on VZI has fitted a front one on, the backs should go with some jiggery pokery!
 
My old bus had a brazil rear bumper. I welded the irons on in the end & did a smoothy as it was the easiest way to do it.

ive got a rear like that in the shed, the brackets that bolt straight on are the late split style. they dont bolt to the bumper but to a bracket welded into the bumper.
much better idea as the weight is spread about rather than on four bolts!
 
looks ok ,it was the rear i was talking about,mines shafted and i saw the brazil ones heratage do for£ 69,but after posting i saw jk do a rear bumper for early bay(simler price),does any one no if these are the brazilian ones aswell?the reason i ask is that the brazilian bumpers have a cut out in the middle that i would want to weld up,if the jk ones dont then thats my disision made!
 
I think mine would have been a JK one, but that was 2003 so its anyones quess as to what the new ones are like.

Ask JK for a more detailed picture.
