Les Brock Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 In an effort to stop bashing the rear of the truck in and a load more busting military new style reflectors I thought about the lorry rear rubber bump stop thingies....like Landy ones but 3 times longer and about 3/4 inches deep bolted onto the rear crossmember. sure I saw a pic of a 90 with some on somewhere.... But from where ? the other option is the Bearmach Srapiron styleeeee type, but my reat body cut away so these will look a bit daft Any other ideas ????

landrover598 Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 Rubber buffers would work great i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 (edited) Any other ideas ???? bout time you learn't where the rear of the 90 is A LGV truck/trailer parts supplier should be able to sort a set of the big rubber buffers just like those Dave has found above Edited September 10, 2005 by western Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonr Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 What about: Bend a bit of coathanger wire into the shape you would have wanted your rubber bumper and arrange a switch such that it switches on when you press on the wire. Connect switch to your horn and you'll soon learn where the back of your Landy is! Actually, this sounds ideal for me! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a local lucas depot in Gloucester, they'll be cheaper there...errr...no...£78 plus Vat for the whole fitting, sorry sir but thats the price ! can you buy the lense on its own.... Yes sir £72.... local dealer did me a special price of £30 they normally sell them for £50 moral of story stick to the cheapo original placky ones looking for a years supply at sodbury.....around 3-5 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 what about fitting these mesh type lamp protectors, like all the smart folk do? not sure they'll do much if you reverse into a tree though They are from the same dept of H & S that makes you wear a plastic hardhat when standing under a 20 ton container hanging off a crane, in case the container falls on your head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
