So on a whim I removed the front bumper off My White BJ8. I kinda like to look. I did as much digging here and the interweb as I could but can't find much on mounting Sprite over-riders on the rear. Those of You that have gone bumperless , what are You doing in the back? I found pics of Randy Forbes nerf bars so I'm guessing homemade brackets? Anybody have a drawing or specs for rear brackets?

Cut the rear bumper brackets short and weld on a vertical piece with vertical slotted holes spaced to match the Sprite bumperettes.

I used the Rear Overrider Conversion Kit from Cape International (their part #RALLY01). Bolts right into the same places as the rear bumper and fits perfect.

Need to make sure whatever you do, you allow enough room for the trunk to open by them.

I've always thought the Austin Healey rear-end had the best curves of any car. The stock bumpers only interrupt the beautiful flowing lines.
The Sprite/Rally rear bumpers really don't provide any real impact protection, so IMHO why detract from the natural beauty of the Healey's design by adding them.

I had the AH Spares brackets and Sprite bumpers on a previous car but I prefer the complete bumperless look than I have on my current one. For those that don't wantto permanently fill in the holes for the bumper brackets, AH Spares and others sell oval shaped rubber grommets which press in.
Wow the bumperless look on this car is really righteous. My car is white and no hard top so it won't jump out the this one.

Dougieās looks way better with the holes properly filled than just with painted grommets, thatās just wrong .
Im going bumperless on my 62 Rally recreation .
Dougie , why the leather spare tire boot strap to hold the boot closed , is it just for safety reason in the event of a rear ender or is it a requirement for vintage racing ?

Ruddspeed write-up quotes 240 dyno hp at the flywheel. Anyone have a reference as to how to achieve that? (I'm just dreaming!) Doug

The write up said it was all heavily built. Head work, cam crank etc.

i also made a little bracket that fits to the tag holder and holds the tag light. the tag bolts hold it on and it does not show. no need to drill holes in the body for it that way and can be put back to the proper bumper configuration if wanted.

the brackets of ah spare or limora or moss have been slightly modified to stick as close as possible to the bodywork ... it is a complete kit
