Reproduction Avanti Bumpers

[Ken 63R2159 R2]

A vendor who advertises in the AOAI Avanti magazine is selling reproductions of the front and rear Avanti bumpers. Can anyone comment on the quality, fit and chrome finish?

Excellent quality. Fit on one end was slightly off, but it may have been the slight damage to the outer end I re-used. Much better than the later Avanti II bumpers with the crease across the length of the top. Much better than most rechrome shops. I have had peeling on the back sides, marks where they straighten on the back side, and waves, and grind marks that were unacceptable on rechromed units. None of that is true with the new ones. You will have to find the large cage nuts and use them on the new.

Jon Meyer has the unique cage nuts in stock.......... excellent quality & fitment

What is cost on these reproductions? I am considering repairing, and rechroming mine. New sounds intriguing.

There is separate pricing for individual pieces and complete sets.  "No shipping charge"  Refer to page 55 of this month's "Turning Wheels".

There is also an advertisement in the winter/spring (issue 181) of Avanti Magazine on page 67.

I find myself in the position of having to get front and rear bumpers as the chromer I left them with has disappeared. 
Which vendor have people been getting the repo bumpers from ?
