MG MG Y Type - The rarest parts for a YB

What are the hardest to find parts/items for a YB.
I have some surplus parts that may help someone move a project on.
K Weeds

Specific YB parts that are hard(er) to find are:
- the bumpers blades with overriders and irons,
- the foglamp is different from the YA, but I don't know the exact part.no. now.
- the larger spare wheel cover.

Thanks Willem.
I do have a bumper I havent seen and is yet to arrive, not sure of condition.
The larger spare wheel cover interests me, Do you have the dimensions of this larger option?

Thanks
K Weeds

I am looking for a rear view mirror...
WJK Kalafut

No mirror sorry.

I don't have the exact dimensions of the spare wheel covers but the difference is quite big between the smaller YA/YT cover and the higher YB cover.
The added height was to be able to fit the 5.5-15 sized spare tyre of the YB, whereas the YA/YT has 5.00/5.25-16 tyres.

There is a spare wheel cover on ebay. I have been in contact with the seller, he writes that it is for a YA but the measurements are not correct. So I suspect it's for a YB.
Anders Andreasson

In the selection of spares that come with my car I have what looks like a spare wheel cover but its bigger than my YB's so I guess its off a different car.
K Weeds

The last lot of spares for my YB have arrived.
I do now have a complete front bumper, with overriders and with irons, it needs a crack welded plus re-chrome but its complete.
