I might have one of those. I kept an old bumper to do a new one. I'll have a gander.......

That's very kind groucho - I appreciate you even looking.

**groucho** · 20th April 2010, 07:02 PM

Is this the thing. It came off 52 from memory. I will try to remove it.
If you ask lots a landies the people who made the bumpers might have a new one. Any way it's yours if you want it.........

**Scallops** · 20th April 2010, 07:08 PM

Yep - that is it, groucho.

I'll see what Lots a Landies can tell me and get back to you. Thank you so much for looking, finding, posting the piccy and being happy to part with it.

If I can't get a new one I'd love to have it adorn my bumper bar.

So I'll be in touch.

If you can give me the dimensions Dan, I could make one up for you.

Cheers, Mick.

Brilliant idea! Thanks Mick! I'll ask groucho to take some measurements for me.

No worries, if we do it soon enough I might even be able to get it galvanised for you.

Cheers, Mick.

As soon as I hear from groucho - or anyone else who can give me the measurements for the lug in question, I'll let you know.

It would be easier to cut one from a stuffed bumper. Not that I'm doubting Mick's ability.

I have a stuffed bumper, but have already used the crank boss from it on another bumper.

I am struggling with the reasoning why one would take a perfectly good canopy off a good Series 1 vehicle, get it brought back up to scratch and then have the hide to expect a "mate" to drive it down the road to get it machinery inspected and registered, on a rainy day. Friendship only goes so far you know Scallops.

But despite the wet rear, it is done at last.
