Mark D Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Wondering if anyone has a complete parts list and installation instructions for P15 bumper overiders. I bought mine last year on eBay for cheap, but it seems that there are parts missing, specifically at the connections in the stock bumper. As installed it is loose and shakes back and forth about a quarter inch. Still looking for a rear overider if anyone has one they want to get rid of. - Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobT-47P15 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Seems like one I bought from an individual several years ago had a group of washers with it. I think they were to take up space on the bolts so it wouldn't move like that. I used the overrider for a while, but have since removed it......don't recall it having any play in it. Finally found this pic. Edited October 3, 2014 by BobT-47P15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark D Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Thanks Bob, washers are cheap, I'll see what I can cobble together the next time I'm at lowes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveplym Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Hey Mark, mine has spacers, or washers as mentioned, that keep it from shaking. Could always make something out of a small piece of pipe and cut it down to the length you need. Here's the best pic I have showing how it fits on my car.

BobT-47P15 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) It seems those rear overriders are kind of hard to come by. They are low and have to be V-d out for the trunk lid to clear. Found this photo, Edited October 3, 2014 by BobT-47P15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) just a couple weeks ago I diassembled my rear bumper for sandblasting and painting the brackets...the spacer for the over rider to prevent crush is as shown in the picture and is 3/4 OD and 5/8 ID and 1.750 long. I am sure you can get these at Lowes..I bought some not long ago for a Go-Cart axle and they are the same ID and Lowes has various lengths. You can cut this from black iron water pipe also...

Mark D Posted October 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Excellent idea Steve/Tim, black iron pipe is easy to work with. Bob, yes the rear has a double bend to allow for the trunk lid to pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another option might be galvanized pipe or electical conduit Just another idea. Rich HArtung Desoto1939@aol.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich HArtung Desoto1939@aol.com EMT in my opinion would be a bit light duty....it needs a bit of sustenance to it to perform its roll of anti-crush....personally I feel the original if marginal at best and less than once rusty and you trying to sandblast and save...but..just one mans opinion..the one pictured will never see duty on any car I bolt back together..

I agree EMT would not work well but rigid Aluminum offers a lot more substance and it will not rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
