Re: My 72 restoration
In the back of the spots the mounting bracket was only pop riveted on bu the manufacture making it so you can only tilt the spots a small amount. If you drill the rivets out and turn the internal mounting bracket 180 degrees and fix it back on. Then you you can just mount it through on of the existing bumper mounting holes. I will try post some pics tomorrow.Dazz wrote:How did you get the spots mounted in the bumper? Care to share?
Today I changed all the gear linkage bushes and bits. Just need to take it for a test drive to see if it will be a bit easier getting 2nd gear.
