Am wanting to put a new pair of bumpers and bolts on my L34   and rare spares  offer them new  here in NZ  , does anyone have experience of the quality and fit of  rares  items  ? .  Also what  are the best  new bolts to use for them too .

I have them on my GPak, they fitted up no problems at all. I used Rare Spares bolt kit. The chrome seems to be good quality but have only been on for less than 2 years, but I have paid big dollars for rechroming locally and it has'nt lasted 10 years.

I can’t comment from personal experience, but I know some fussy people within the EH club have been very happy with the Rares chrome bumpers. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them.

Think you need to paint  the inside with some rust proof paint and polish the chrome with some heavy silicone content polish

+ 2 on painting the inside. I have seen the chrome start to flake off after a couple of years.

Do they have both the L34 / S type bumper and the one with the rubber strip?

They have  the ones without the rubber strip so no holes in the centre   , have had mixed results over the years with getting bumpers re-chromed which is why l am looking at new from rares .
