Hi all,

Hi Phil, thanks for your reply, but its not that car, just had a look at one http://www.flickr.com/photos/albertsbite/3074332877/
these are very different, as the rubber goes both up & under bottom & top, I have never seen them, on any other car, thats why I try inhere??
they seem to be made in Stainless steel, or they have VERY good chrome on them. _________________ http://www.eurods.eu/wp/index.html |

Guesswork, but I'm thinking MGB or Rover.
In picture 008, does it match the bumper profile? It's too dark to really see.
Doesn't the W&P catalogue say what they fit? _________________ Mike - MVPeters at comcast.net

Hi Peter, no I havent seen any MG or Rover, with these overriders
Yes it match the bumper profile, but if they are taken from another car, WP would have reshaped the profile to match.
Yes it does say what they fit, but I want to find out where WP got them from?? so I can find some? as I am missing 2
My car had a rearshunt more than 30 years ago, so only the front ones were left on the car, when I found it. _________________ http://www.eurods.eu/wp/index.html |

Hi Penman,
yes maybe ?? but my biggest problem is that I am living in Denmark, so I dont have access, to all these old catalouges
thats why I posted my question inhere, and on three other forums.
Maybe they are from some Italien made car?? W&P did raid the Inno partsbins, for some of the "Bling" they fitted to the MARGRAVE.
Its the only part on the car, I havent sourced---all other parts that W&P fitted/used on the MARGRAVE conversion, have I located
It took me 8 years to find out what model Recaro it was? - same as fitted to a Porsche 911 Carrera RS. _________________ http://www.eurods.eu/wp/index.html |

Probably a long way off, but they are similar to those fitted to a Ford Corsair 2000E I owned many moons ago. But I bet they were not stainless! _________________ Quote from my late Dad:- You only need a woman and a car and you have all the problems you

Did you check the "E" (executive model)?. They were different to normal versions. _________________ Quote from my late Dad:- You only need a woman and a car and you have all the problems you

Not that it helps with where they are from, but check with a magnet, a fridge magnet will do. If they are stainless the magnet won't stick. |

Some (lesser quality?) stainless items WILL attract a magnet, though not very strongly. If in doubt compare the "cling" with that on a piece of normal iron or steel. _________________ Quote from my late Dad:- You only need a woman and a car and you have all the problems you
