Any idea of the actual make of these CW style bars - there is a partial decal on the left hand side but very damaged.
Thanks

Is the top bar straight between the uprights or swept back in a curve

They look like they could potentially be Rickman bars to me ?

Heres a pic from their 85 catalogue & theres also some measurements for you to check.  :daumenhoch:

I agree Phil, they definitely look TIG welded to me also, so not Rickman.
