Post by PAN4213 » Wed Mar 10, 2021 11:55 pm

Hello all,

I need to replace the central motif bar on my Series 2 as the existing bar has rusted significantly.

Any advice on suitable sources of supply?

many thanks.

Replate your original bar.

If you buy a new one it’s almost guaranteed not to fit. Like most of the chrome work it’s virtually bespoke to the car. The shape of the bonnet air scoop is often subtlety different from car to car and probably more so after all these years with repairs and restoration.

Mine was rusted, pitted, and slightly bent. I acquired one thru SNG here in the states and it fit perfectly.
