[Tigers] bumper over-riders

Thanks Gary.
 
Looks like that settles it. It was a running change and there are Tigers  
with the early (sturdier) type. I'm going with those.

Subject: [Tigers] bumper  over-riders

Hello,

I got a set of bumpers chromed recently, and  now am addressing the  
over-riders

In the Alpine parts  list there are two listed:
2226483 and 5115347   and from the  outside they look  identical.

The 2226483 seems to be an  over-rider with slightly thicker steel and an  
internal brace  brazed inside. The brace has a bolt hole which is  threaded 
for  the fixing bolt.

5115347 has thinner steel, no internal bracing, and a  carriage bolt hole 
to 
stop the fixing bolt (carriage) from  turning.

I have a Mk 1A with the latter type and am tempted to switch  to the  old 
(seeming all around better) type. Further, I don't  know if  any Tigers 
came 
with early type.

Anybody have an  inside line on this issue?
