fitting bumperettes ( mk1 escort )

hello,

in regards to the fitting of bumperettes, do the std front brackets work or do you need different brackets to fit them?? i had a quick look last night and the brackets were no where near the holes in the bumperettes, brackets look too short although our front bumper did have a decent hit towards the middle so they may be very bent.....

cheers
chris

    You'll need different brackets - both inner and outer. The inners aren't so difficult to make, but the outers can be tricky. You can buy them, but in the past I've just modified a spare set of inner brackets from a Mk1 rear bumper.

    You can get them off eBay (UK) for about 35 pound and they are a good fit. Alternatively you can modify the existing inner bracket. As Simon has indicated, the side brackets are tricky to try to bend to the correct shape.
