i have one but it's NOS and would cost your twice the price of a repro one. i also have as good as NOS rear brackets and repro splash pans.

i believe Schofield does repro ones for around £350?

that'll be about 1200 smackers then for the lot.

to be honest tim i couldnt justify NOS!
it would be tooo good for the van, one that had a bit of patina would be more suitable! Very Happy

No i don't blame you, i just get the feeling i'll own another pre 59 bus at some point and it'll probably be missing the rear bumper so i'd kick myself if i sold it for less than i think i'd have to pay for one if you know what i mean...

they are just plain hard to come by!

repro left outside for the winter sounds like the way you need to be going Wink
