I'd have said they were the same upto 59. Getting hard to get hold of now, although there were a couple of sets on here recently that sold real quick

actualy there is a left and right rear bracket if you look it up in the parts lists. There is a very slight bow curve to an nos pressed bumper and the brackets were made to fit this curve. It is nearly impossable to tell this on used brackets that were slightly bent ... it seems they all are... so I would not loose sleep if you have two of one kind the bumpers are usualy so bent up anyhow that they are almost never right even if nicely stratend! |
