Default Tubular bumpers

I would also be interested in purchasing a set of the early type tubular bumpers if a batch was being made.
Regards,
John

If either of you who are interested in early 400 bumpers can get down to Wiltshire in the near future I think my bumper kit is still in component form at Mitchell motors. It would be the work of moments to draw round the individual parts to make a pattern. I think there is also an early 400 on site with original tubular bumpers.

My bumpers were made from stainless steel and are not as strong as the original but I imagine several sets could be made in this way for the cost of a single set to the original spec.

As I don't have the bumpers with me I can't offer measurements of diameters but the vertical hoops are noticeably smaller diameter than the horizontals on all the bumpers I have seen.
