Some very basic questions, sorry! 2200SC, 1975 car. Currently no overriders, but I like the look of them. I have purchased a pair of good used front. My questions are as follows:
1. Rear overridders commend a higher second hand price it seems, and don't come up on ebay as often of fronts (I am not currently in the right place to spend hundreds on NOS or rechromed versions unfortunately). Can the front overriders be 'repurposed' and fitted to the rear bumper?
2. A general fitment question - as the bumpers don't have anything I can see in terms of overrider fitments, and the pics online I looked at have a bracket with what appears to be a threaded hole, is fitment just with a long enough bolt to but against inner bumper - can't be that simple is it? Is there something else I require? If not, does anyone know the bolt specs?
3. In my front bumper there are two holes in the underside - are these anything to do with overriders - not convinced they are, but wondered what they were for all the same.
4. To Fit, I presume the bumpers come off and the overrider just 'rolls' on - could be wrong, but looking at the dimensions plus my car I wouldn't have thought there was room between bumper and body when in situ.
Thanks in advance for answering what are probably self-explanatory questions if I had an overrider in hand to look at!
On the plus side, I fixed the wipers without asking any eye-rollingly obvious questions
