    WTB:1968 front bumper horn, passenger side, with or without rubber buffer SWB narrow

    I am looking for a decent original 1968 passenger side (RHS) chrome front bumper horn with (preferably) or without rubber buffer to suit SWB narrow trim.

    This or these will have the chrome slide in back plate not the later black plastic one.

    Will consider a pair if that is all you have.

    Chrome condition not important as will re chrome but need it or them to be undamaged please.

    I've never seen a chrome slide-in back plate. The early ones with the chrome are all metal with no slide-in plate. Can you post a picture of this? The '68 I had which was original had the black plastic and everyone I have in my basement has the black plastic.

    Interesting you say that as one side appears to be the all metal as you describe and I thought the other side had a slide in plate with a slot at the top which is chromed.

    I have looked at some other pics online and it seems my description is bad there is no slide in plate but all metal as you suggest, I am not near the car currently so cannot chack
    but i am going to pull the bumper off and remove them for further investigation will post pics of what I have when I have done so.

    Seems like all the ads I have seen for 67-68 versions don't have the black plastic insert but all 69 ones onwards do.
