Early 400 bumpers

[Robert339]

Dear All,

Having unsuccessfully searched the forum on this topic, does anyone have information about the early style bumpers for the Bristol 400?

400/339 is presently undergoing a full restoration and having stripped the front wings, it would appear that the car may well have originally been fitted with the early style tubular bumpers, rather than the later straight bumpers & apron. The holes in the front wings - from which the bumper brackets protrude - are clearly non original.

Does anyone have information on these early bumpers (material, dimensions, etc). Are these by chance being re-manufactured? Any guidance is much appreciated.

Thanks.
Robert.
