Yes - but did ERA give you a certificate of authenticity?

Yep. Also, I suppose for the integrity of the record, I should update my earlier statement with the corrected version:
THE ORIGINAL OVERRIDERS OR BUMPERETTES WERE INDEED STAMPED BUT THEY WERE NEVER EVER PRODUCED BY FORD!

Agreed. Which calls into question even more the origin of the molds.

Pedantic: They are "dies", molds are for casting, dies are for stamping.

@ joyridin' make sure these (Or whatever) Bumperette's you buy, are the right size, bolt hole to bolt hole. I know when looking for overrides there wasn't enough (Meat) on the back brackets to modify to the 3 1/2" I needed to fit the Classic Roadster. When we tried to make brackets to fit over the tubes for our Club Badges there are 3-different sizes (Bolt hole space) from one Cobra to another. Most are 2.25"

Mine are small. I do not remember the exact size, but the ones I have on there now has 1 of the holes drilled in a different place. The ones you have would be way too big. I would have to put a plate on the back and drill the place to fit my pattern. Thanks for the info! |

Ok, one question 
Did Ford really provide these to AC in these small prodution #'s?
Would think AC would have made these in UK as part of the rolling package to SAI as Ford was a motor/trans supplier, no? |
