Hi ya

I find them a very gd fit. Gd quality slightly thinner gauge metal but it's stainless so no fear of rusting so no issue there , I would fit these all day long worth the money and you get all the fixings and over riders so cannot ask for more.

Top seller trust worthy so buy with confidence lots have fitted them and I have through the years hope that helps and enjoy fitting them one trick use a jack with soft wood or cushioned to hold position while tightening up bumpers so they sit in right position it can be tricky getting them even originals sitting inline and level it's the sections you see but with some patience will look fantastic afterwards well worth the effort look fine when done .

Kind regards
Robert.w

I have just bought a 1966 B18 b122s. The bumpers don't have any overiders and no holes where they might have been. I have seen a photograph of another 1966 one and that didn't have overiders either. Can anyone tell me if overiders were fitted to all these cars

Default Overriders

This is my second 1966, the first about 409 years ago, and they both have these front and back. At leastr here in the states. Russ

I bought a set of Harringtons for my Amazon and overall the quality was quite good . The only problem was the front overriders were not even a close fit and I gave them away to one of our members from Kent. I also paid a lot more than is being offered today - about £700 if I remember correctly. I emailed Harringtons but never got a response.
They have been on the car for eight years or thereby and still look good.
