TR2/3/3A Driving lights / badge bar attachment.

I want to install a badge bar to the front bumper overriders on a restored '59 TR3A. Available badge bars attach with a bolt and nut to a brace piece welded into the upper part of the overriders, however, my overriders do not have such a brace. I've been told there are badge bars that attach to the bolts that hold on the overriders. Is anyone aware of such badge bars, or an alternative solution? I've been unable to find anything online.
Thanks in advance.

Why do you have the wrong overriders? All TR3A should have the braces, but it sounds like you have the TR2-3 version (which did not). The contour of the bumper bar is different as well.

Check with TRF. It appears that their RFN305 is suitable for use with the early overriders, but I couldn't find a photo or detailed description of it. It's just listed as the replacement for the factory 552399 bar.

The best place for badge bars I have found was Rimmers in the UK.. I was able to find one for my TR4 and those are seemingly made of unobtanium. I'll bet you find what you want there.

I made a couple of simple mounts for my driving lights that could also be used for mounting badges. Some video here....
