66 Johan/Hasegawa Cadillac bumper

[hedotwo]

I've been searching for a rear bumper for my Johan 66 Cadillac Coupe de Ville for quite some time, but I've been excluding the Hasegawa 66 thinking it wouldn't fit.  Other than the dated plate on the Johan there doesn't appear to be too much different, but the size would be what I'm concerned about.  Would anyone know if the Hasegawa would fit the Johan Caddy?  Worst case I think I might be able to try removing the right rear taillight from the Hasegawa and fit it to the Johan which is missing the right rear but the remainder of the bumper is great.  I would think the Johan hearse/ambulance taillight would work as well.  I know the bumper itself is different but the taillight might work.  Including a pic of my broken bumper.

Thanks!

I have one of the Hasegawa kits, I'll measure the bumper and post a pic for you later today but I'm pretty sure they'll fit.

Here ya go Rich. Top line is inches, bottom is millimeters

If I read your caliper correctly the Johan is wider.  I measure my Johan to be 69mm between the tops of the two fins and 76mm overall width.   Thanks for helping Steve ?

Looks like the JoHan is just a hair over 1 MM wider then. Might still work by cutting both ends from the center and mating them to the JoHan center. 

BTW, the Hasegawa was copied from the JoHan kit for a slot car back in the '60s.

Sounds like that would work nicely.  Even the hearse or ambo rear bumper would work for that too maybe.  I'll now keep my eyes open for either a Hasegawa Caddy or the real Johan.

Take care Steve
