[Healeys] Hundred Rear Bumpers

[Josef.Eckert at t-systems.com]

Lou,
I am one of thoes who are still waiting to receive their hand made Healey 100
rear bumper. Recently I was luckky enough to get an original rear bumper here
in Germany in decent restorable condition. I would be happy to swap my order
to you. I payed $ 400 + $ 90 for shipping to Germany  = $ 490. In case you
give me the $ 400 for the bumper I would be happy to pass my claim to you or
any other in case you would stand back. I think all the other bumper guys can
confirm that I paid for the bumper and would be one of the next who may
receive one.

Lou,

A group of us had some rear bumpers produced by a fellow in Ohio. They are
really quite excellent, but being hand made, and the fellow having personal
problems, they have taken an extremely long time to be made. There was an
initial order of around 20 pieces, and some of these may still not be finished
and delivered. This process has taken well over two years. I really don't
think he's willing to take on any more, nor would you want to wait that long
for them.

Any repros I have seen are not nearly as curved as they should be. These
should parallel the rear of the body as viewed straight down from above. If
they are too straight, it results in the number plate lamp almost touching the
body, and the gap between bumper and body being very uneven and unsightly.

I really don't know what to recommend at this point.
