Dennis,
I have seen SS versions of the early bumpers on Ebay from time to time.
But only full sets of rear + front. They are going for about 1K. I have
know knowledge of quality.
I had both my complete 3 piece rear and front bumpers (4 pieces) re
chromed at a local plater for about 900 bucks 5 years ago. They even
removed a small dent from the center rear bumper. Chrome is still as
delivered.
The bumpers did not have any rust or pitting. They were just a bit on
the green side, (nickel showing). That is why I chose to have them re
chromed. You might want to check with some chrome shops that do
motorcycles. They may be able to help you even though they may use out
of state resources.

Hello,
Can anyone comment from an experience standpoint on the quality of the repro
bumpers for an early TR6? I've heard things from "don't bother, they're
made from tin foil" to "not as good as original but it's ok". I'm
interested specifically about the rear bumper center section for my '71 TR6.
Does anyone have one on their car at this time? Has it been ok? Any
vendors better than the others? I'd much rather have the original
straightened and re-chromed, but here in SoCal the price of chrome work has
gone astronomical.
Thanks, Dennis
