Hi all,

Are these two bumpers the same or different? I'm pretty sure they have the same bolt pattern/spacings but need clarification.

Thanks,
BC.

They are different, the clubbie front bumper is a lot different to the round nose bumpers.

The clubby rear bumper is pretty similar to the front and rear round nose bumpers but the clubbie one is not as rounded as a roundnose one. AFAIK they fit in place of each other but look a bit different.

The round nose front and rear bumpers are the same as each other, unless you have budgie bars :D

Clubby rear is very rectanglur shap, rather then the smoth curves of the early models, but all will fit, just a seventies thing I think

The Clubby one is very square-edged, where the Morris one doesn't have a single edge on it. The Morris one also sits much closer and neater to the body. This just makes you scratch the paint off your boot hinges when you put the new bumper on. :cry:
The Clubby ones had a remedy for this: They dont fit as well, and they sit on the valance seam, then the bolts go up through from the bottom. Morris ones have the studs on the bumper, which you have to align on the way down to the valance when you hear SCRAPE :shock: Oh, no! And you still have to fight little baby nuts and washers, etc.

I LOVE this site.

Thanks guys.

That's what Karcraft told me (it's what thier catalogue shows too) I haven't looked real closely but I haven't noticed any difference.
This is providing there are no budgie bars on them :wink:

Well I have seen a clubman rear bumper on the front of a roundy and it seemed to fit OK, so I think they are the same.

I haven't seen a roundy rear bumper on the front of a roundy cause well I don't know how to tell them apart :P :lol:
