Abstract: Fibrators are $n$-manifolds which automatically induce approximate fibrations, in the following sense: given any proper mapping $p$ from an $(n+k)$-manifold onto a finite-dimensional metric space such that, up to shape, each point-preimage is a copy of the fibrator, $p$ is necessarily an approximate fibration. This paper sets forth new examples, for the case $k=2$, of nonfibrators whose fundamental groups are finite.
