Default Early AC Ace Overriders. New batch in progress

Attention Early Ace owners, or later Ace owners who would like to emulate the early Ace!





The difficulty in finding the Overriders used on the first 70 or so Aces, which appear to have been a bespoke AC part, rather than the Standard 8 item used subsequently by AC, has led a plucky band of ACOC members to arrange a production run.

To make the project viable, a commitment to purchase a specific quantity is required, but as of today, they are just a couple of units short of the 'GO' figure.

For more details, please visit the ACOC Forum.

Nik.

I don't have an ACE but I'm thinking they would look good on my 289FIA. (I don't care for the larger ones.)
A picture of the back side, with measurements, would help make up my mind to drop the $$$.

Sorry for the delay, Karl.
CAD files all in metric, but basically, 9" long, 2 1/4" wide and just over 1 1/2" deep. 2 square 1/2" holes, around 5 2/3" between centres.





Hope this helps!
Nik.

Hi Nic, I like the smaller overriders now all I have to do is decide if I like them $500+ worth. Thanks. K.

When you consider the value of our vehicles, it's a tiny drop in the ocean, but will give you a unique look and great conversation piece!
