late bay over riders

iv been hunting the internet for hours and cant seem to find the answer to

whats the difference between front and rear over riders??????
some pics of the 2 would be great please??

iv just got a pair in the post that i won on ebay and now know they are rear from the stamp inside but wanted to put them on the front.

are they that different??

cheers in advance

 

yes they are different and handed as well.

 

also there are deluxe overriders as well as normal, deluxe are different to fit over the rubbers like mine.

 

what do you mean by handed??

 

left side on left right on right, they will be stamped, if you look on the picture above they would point the wrong way if not on correctly

 

ah i see
yes mine are L.R and R.R

 

you can see a bit better on this one

 

cool bus by the way

 

The main difference between front and rears are the angle they sit at because of the curve in the bumper. If you fitted them to the front they would point outwards. Not sure how much by but it could look like mine. Mine are modified early ones because l was fed up of not being able to find suitable ones after 2 years.

OMG fair play to you, im not sure id mind if they are just a slightly differnt angle, when i get my van back from the garage ill offer them up and see how they look?

there are a couple of pairs of early ones on ebay at the moment where they easy to modify??

 

With the right tools and a little patients they were not that hard. l spent about a day fettling per pair. If you follow the link to my photobucket you will see more pictures of what l did. However take note that the templates are for my bumpers which are somewhat misshapen and have the deluxe rubber insert but will give you a guide.

The brackets holding them on are L shaped things from B&Q.

 

Might just have to give it a go

 

you have the left rear and right rear , the right rear should have a cut out for the tow eye . The front ones are slighty deeper than the rears and it is posible to use early ones but to get the half way right the bumper cut outs need welding and they need to be made deeper ! depends how fussy you are but early one are now almost as expensive as the lates . They use a special bracket which the whole overrider fixes to through a hole in the rubber .
I think i have a pair of stainless brackets and new rubber if you needed them .

these are rear ones

 

how much for the rubbers?

 

:hijack: :hijack:

were the over rides an option? my boy want to put some on our bus (70)--chuck

 

I would love some over riders on the front of mine, if you ever come across any let me know!

 

I got some & will split in pairs front £100, rear £100 bumper free if you buy all 4 for £200.
