Brownie586 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 We never got a chrome rear bumper in Australia for our brumby but I've seen the brat did in the US. Just wondering if this is a common part over there? Are there brat specialists who would stock something like this and be willing to ship to Australia? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formosahenry Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 My brat had a chrome bumper. It was mangled in an accident by the pervious owner. I tried to find a used one, but the chrome bumper is very rare. I had mine straighten out by a body shop the pounds the bumper straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfoyl Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Finding an original chrome 1982-only BRAT bumper is tough. I have a spare black one you could have rechromed (I can even recommend a good chrome plater for the plastic light surrounds). Will need some panel work though as it had a hole drilled in it for a trailer plug (I ended up buying a chrome one out of the US last year and got the last part back from the chrome platers last week). As far as I know they are the only 2 in Australia. The AgQuip bumper is another option if you can find it. Note the bumper won't fit a standard width license plate, as it's designed for USDM (shorter than our plates). I switched to slimline and curved it around to fit.

Brownie586 Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 That's awesome. Could you send be a picture of what you've got? Would that be insane to freight to qld? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfoyl Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Not as insane as from the US Here's the existing bar (I haven't finished re-assembling the chrome one, had EJ blocks all over my workbench until yesterday). (Old photo, BTW - back in 4x140 days...) Edited February 13, 2017 by dfoyl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfoyl Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Not sure if I have the covers (the AUDM bumperettes have covers where the bumper bracket goes, the USDM have the same covers but with a cutout to allow the bumper through) - I can provide templates as I don't have mine fitted yet!
