do i need a different support bar? and if so which one?

mine has a removable rear valance

or can i fit the correct mounts to this bar? ( 2 bolt holes either side for mount )

Regards Tommy
 
also on the just kampers website it says the mounts which look correct for mine are for 1700 - 2000 cc

but im trying to fit a T1, will it still fit?

cheers tommy
 
looks like i have a late bay one, the guy who i bought it off said it was early... which would appear to be wrong... am i right?

1972 - 1979, 1600 cc
 
Looks like you have the bar for a crossover onwards model. So yes you need the early type one.
 
turns out mine is just a standard early bay one...

is this what i need to be lookin for?
