PCT No. PCT/GB90/01255 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 7, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 7, 1992 PCT Filed Aug. 10, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/01904 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 21, 1991.A nudge bar of the kind comprising a pair of spaced vertical bars whose front surfaces provide the most forward parts of the nudge bar, one for either side of the vehicle radiator and a horizontally extending elongate loops connected with the two vertical bars. At least the front part of each vertical bar is formed as a moulding of resilient plastics or rubber material. A particularly suitable material is a semi-rigid, self skinning, foamed polyurethane. Preferably, a metal insert in the form of a strip extends through each moulding to strengthen it and, where appropriate, to facilitate fixing. In a preferred arrangement, each vertical bar comprises a rear metal part and a front moulded part, the metal part providing projecting front edges which mate with corresponding grooves in the moulded part, and a plate is provided in the metal part, adjacent the front edges, and on which the moulded part seats when fitted.
