I think I may have some chrome bumpers in my roof but not sure for which car. They may be for Fiat 133. Could you measure the fixing hole centres you require and let me know.

Title: Chrome Bumpers For 126
Post by: banjomandolin on February 03, 2007, 10:49:22 PM

Hi, I have found 2 for 126 as follows :-

              rear, hole c/s = 755mm

              front, hole c/s = 800mm

also 2 for 133 :-

              rear, hole c/s = 760mm

              front, hole c/s = 795mm

all appear to be same overall length but the 133 ones are more "wrap round" at the ends.

Take your pick !.

that extra wrap around is interesting for those who want to hide the side pressings on bis or fsms......................

Title: 133s

Shame on you !, I have owned 4 133s in the last 15 years and found them well built and so easy to work on. All the brake gear and hubs are same as 126.
