Somebody sells new resin castings of the lower bumpers on the later MK. IV's, that limit the suspension travel. These are the ones located near the road wheels. Cannot figure out who it was (or is), and I need three sets.

Anybody have an idea where to buy them?

Sorry Gary ... canīt help you with your question, as I never heard of resin bumpers. But I wonder what the point would be to pay extra for these, as they are virtaully invisible when the boogies and wheels are in place. Tristarīs wheel accessory set sounds more useful when you think on all the other details you get as well, and they include different bumper designs??

I remember seeing them at the Quickwheel site; 'Bitskrieg' makes them:

I have a couple kits that the parts are not very accurate. The bracket acts as a travel limiter on the lower road wheel arms. May try to cast them myself using the ones in a Dragon kit. Never tried resin casting before, but it can't be rocket science!

boy that site took me to the exact position I needed to be in!! Even went so far as to tell me which ones they were for instead of some generic item for a MK. IV

Thanks!
