Nope, they came off the back as haven't touched the front bumper. However,
I'm not original owner, so can't say this is correct.

Subject: Re: [Mgs] Rear Bumper Installation '71 MGB
Are you sure you don't mean the front? The rear has a pair of pretty-well
straight cast irons that bolt to the chassis rails and have a threaded end
sticking out through the rear valance. Pressed 'springs' bolt to that, then
the bumper bolts to the ends of that with four bolts, or two bolts (outer)
and two overriders (inner). There are shaped pieces that fit between the
curved back of the bumper and the flat springs.
It's the front that has lashing eyes (not towing eyes) on the angled bumper
irons, and doughnuts (and 'U' brackets) between the outer ends of the bumper
and the front wings. This also has curved pieces between the back of the
bumper and the irons.
