I had a look at some rares ones, & they seemed a bit thin in the metal and light in weight, if it were me, I'd be getting original ones recoed as first choice.

I had a full length rear bar on a couple of vans for years & cant remember any real issue with the spare tyre access, but I did put the bumperettes back on to sell them. Definitely like the factory look better these days
great looking van B.T.W
