Military rear bumperettes (Series 109 / Lightweight)

Rover Company / Land Rover Ltd (MoD pattern); reproductions by DDS Metal Services (LR103) and SP 4x4 · United Kingdom · 1958–2016

The pair of short 3 mm steel channel bumper stubs bolted to the ends of the straight military (airportable) rear crossmember of Series 109s and Lightweights, protecting the rear corners and, on later types, carrying two eyes on the inside face that serve as lifting and towing points. The Defender-era pattern (RRC2970/2971) does the same job on the 90, 110 and Wolf; the game's 'bumperettes' component models the Series front pattern.
