TR4/4A Early TR4 Front Bumper Overriders

[TRDejaVu]

The barn find came without the overriders, but with a damaged front bumper. I sourced a used bumper and fitted it without the overriders. Now I have some time, I am trying to add the overriders to finish them off. I am having a problem with the hood contacting the top of the overrider. I presume that the hood nose is meant to end up behind the overrider when fully open. I have added some shim washers on the mounts which has improved it, but it still contacts. If I adjust the stay rod I get a gap between the overrider and the bumper bar. It is possible that the replacements are bent, but I have to live with that for now.

Could someone please post some pics showing how the early 4 hood looks around the bumper when fully open. Also one showing where the mounting bracket bolts to the front of the car.

Many thanks.

I'd second this request for front bumper pictures and tips as I'll be trying to fit my bumper on my TR4 in the new few weeks as well.

(Also, I'm needing the stay rods for the front over-riders if anyone has any leads)

Larry, to the best of my knowledge the over-rider supports are not available from the normal suspects. I made a set from steel tubing.

The TR4 isn't handy but I found this pic in my archives.

I agree the overider supports should be fairly easy to fashion from stock tubing if replacements are not available.

In April this guy was parting out some TRs...

As the name implies, he doesn't know much about the cars he is breaking so you would want to be specific, maybe get a pic.
