mk2 bumper support

[deano9621]

Not sure if this is still available?...but i am after the support bar that stops the lower front edge of the rear driver side mk2 180 bumper flexing as mine has broke,tried to find it on rimmer bros,but no joy does anybody have a spare cheers Deano...looks like it was plastic held in by screw at each end

It's £90 from xpart, a much better solution is to bend some flat alloy bar to make 2 new brackets.

I think i will do this when i fit my bodykitted rear bumper to my mk1 le mans green zs.

[deano9621]

Cheers Pete for that,can't believe how much it is from xpart,thought it was that one but wasn't too Sure,think alloy would be a stronger solution cheers Deano

Yeah, looks like it.

[deano9621]

only just seen this pic Steve ,yeah hopefully its the right part looks like it to be right,as only held in by self tapper at each end,dont really know what it did look like as never seen one before and the rimmer site dont really show the part very well,soon find out when it gets here anyway...many thanks Deano:yes:...and does it have another locating hole on the bottom end that you cant see in the photo steve,then it would defo be the right part

[MG ZS STE]

Yes there's a hole either end and an extra hole I put in the middle. You'd have to drill your arch in the same place but it will improve the fit 150%

Pretty positive Ive got one of those ones from Xpower forums that Pete posted still in my shed, came as pair but I needed to fit one.
Could send for some beer tokens ?

[deano9621]

No probs, good to hear you got it.
One I have will need to get hunted for to maybe do someone else
forgot all bout it till this thread.

[petet16]

I had to use both the ones I made from the xpower drawing, as soon as you cut the left end of the bumper for the l/h exhaust the bumper goes as floppy as a floppy thing.

[deano9621]

Steve only sent today so should get it soon:mml:and cheers for all your help everybody:yes:

[andys1981]

[deano9621]

Many thanks Steve,got the bumper support today and it fitted a treat 😊,i also fitted the extra screw in the middle as you suggested mate and it defo is more solid with the extra screw and bumper is no longer floppy 👍
