i've got a type two converted panel, registered in november 1972. the VIN starts 222, and i think the third 2 confirms the year.
it needs two new rear corners.
as far as i can weigh up, it currently has/may have the wrong (replacement)corners fitted, and the wrong bumper brackets, and probably the wrong bumper.
i say this because extra holes have been drilled in the corner to mount the bumper ends.
and someone's used a hacksaw and a hammer on the bottom lip of the corners so that the bumper brackets clear them.
as for the bumper, i think it's some kind of one size fits all split/early bay job.
so..
any crossover experts out there?
are the corners a different pressing? (i suspect not)
the brackets different?
the bumper?
can i buy these things, or should i adapt what's available?
cheers
