[Healeys] Bumperty Brackets

[Rich C]

If new brackets are needed I can highly recommend those made by Kilmartin 
Sheetmetal of Australia.  On the last two restorations I have used a full 
set of new Kilmartin bumper mounting brackets and they were the best and 
easiest fitting of any I've experienced over the years. They brought 
everything nice and level, and there was a sufficient margin of fitting to 
allow good gaps between bumper, valance and front apron of the body.
If you've ever struggled with poor fitting ones, or originals that have been 
beaten straight, you'll know how significant a statement this is!
