psymon Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 After the recent loss of "Burts" bumper, for all those that own a Trail rear these may be of use..... I redesigned my bracket and also had another made by my mate, for the exhaust tunnel, to hopefully prevent this event happening to me.... These go either side of the exhaust tunnel, giving support against wind pressure. I will post up pic's of them installed on Thursday, as im off work.

psymon Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 No...... lol :d Although I did make templates, so my mate could make another if needed... Plymouth Naval Dockyard is great, free ally and trained metal workers :d and lots of spare time when on shift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Can see why these fail without the brackets. Parachute springs to mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Had a look at mine today very closely and basically they have wind guards and pressure holes to stop this happening - mine is as solid as a rock and it isn't even fitted! Si - If you can get me 5 sets that will be brilliant (let me know damage etc) or chuck me the dimensions please mate and I will look to get some done - this is really excellent work!

GazzaGSi Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Just had a catch up on Burts thread about his rear bumper. Wow, scary stuff. Fitting a Trial rear today hopefully... may have to get some of these brackets made up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine from knightracer from the new mould but I havent had a chance to test fit yet as the exhaust has to come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan294 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 +1 on the brackets. Mines been ok so far, but only tested up to 100 or so. My mate did say he could make some up, but I haven't had chance to let him have a look yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 If you have a brackets high speed should be fine, mines original and I never had problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGSi Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I won't be fitting mine today, its just turned up and looks like its been dragged from the pickup point to my address rather than in a van. Pissed to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine from knightracer from the new mould but I havent had a chance to test fit yet as the exhaust has to come off. I brought mine off Knight racer this year and i was told its the new mould. I can't be certain each replica will be good but i have to say mine needed very little work. I'm only after these brackets after reading a few horror storys about knight racer and the trials rear. So far i have driven at high speeds and been on 70mph A roads and everything seems fine but better to safe than sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 My used Trial Rear arrived yesterday but won't be fitting it until my sideskirts and front lip also arrive and I get around to trial fitting it all before painting, but I definitely will be making some brackets to make sure it all stays in one piece.
