A friend of mine with a TD, was considering having his front over riders re-chromed. He then realised that they are a different size to the rear. Rear 9 1/2" high, front 7 1/2" .

Presumably they should be 9 1/2" (as mine) but were they changed on a later model or on the TF? Or did his front ones come from another vehicle. I see that the re-manufactured ones also refer to being suitable for an Austin Healey Sprite.

They should be the same size - front and rear. If he doesn’t have a complete original set, it might be best to fit some aftermarket ones. If he has original bumpers (front and rear) , the new overriders will most likely not match up - the reproduction bumpers and overriders have a different profile.

David,

after a fenderbender, I bought a replacement from the Octagon Car Club, they seemed reasonably priced, and very likely cheaper than rechroming. Happy with quality as well.
Regards
Mike
