Guys. I am in need of pictures of alternative bumpers for the Syncro. I have big bumpers and as some (all) of you will probably be aware I smashed the front one up rather spectacularly at Vanfest last year. I just got a replacement from Ian at Syncronutz but it is damaged as well and will need repairs before I can fit. I am now thinking that I should maybe think of something else. I don't want the standard ones or the chrome ones. I like the ones Russell has made in the past and want to get something similar but I don't have any pictures to pass on to the fabricator.

The van is going in to the painters soon to get a refresh as my patch job in a couple of places hasn't turned out very well. I hate metallic paint. Anyways I want to get bumpers sorted before then.

If you want to email them rather than post then you can send them to bumper@aircooledcrazy.com.

think you have to be very carefull going custom bumper i`ve only seen a small handfull that in my eyes look nice. most just look heavy and worsen the already poor approach angle.

Russel fitted the steel end capped south african ones, they were available from one of the german suppliers bit not cheap and I'm not sure if still available - ask heritage if they can get them and how much
22S 807 110 front bumper
BCZ 807 123 end cap left
BCZ 807 124 ditto right plus a load of fixings

22S 807 305 rear bumper
BCZ 807 323 end cap
BCZ 807 324 ditto plus a load of fittings and diffferent bumper irons to ours and won't fit a westy tow bar if you have it without mods I believe

or ask Stuart at SyncroHospital for a price on a complete set used

This is one that Russell did. It is unfinished here.

there is loads of threads on thesamba for custom bumpers

Would you be needing these then ?

I have a reliable UK contact for SA parts (who is having a container filled with goodies right now)

I can ask him for a price for some good used Microbus bumpers if you'd like? My rear one is a bit rough, but since they are steel they can be restored.

New ones will be very difficult to find as everything T3ZA is falling off the catalogues at parts dealerships and there doesn't seem to be the remanufacture or spares support that we enjoy in Europe
