Susan, that bar likely was made by American Carry-All Products Co., usually
better known as AMCO, and was essentially a "factory-approved" accessory
usually available through and fitted by the dealer. Of course, they were also
available through AMCO and the many companies that sold the AMCO line. There is
a picture of a TR4 with the "Front Bumper Guard" in a circa 1964 "Triumph
Accessories" brochure, which was reprinted in VTR's _The Vintage Triumph_ issue
#69, Summer 1998.
There was also a bar for the TR4A, but it was quite different in mounting.
AFAIK, it would NOT fit the TR4 owing to the difference in location of the
"stock" bumper overriders.
