Rear Bumper Splash Pan Fitting

[mginty]

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble fitting my rear bumper splash pans....
I've got some splash pans and also bought this kit from C&C:

I found this post which shows the pans fitting nice against both the inside of the bumper and against the body

However, when I try and put it all together, I've got big gaps!

As these pics, show, if I have the bumper coachbolt tight, then the pan doesn't go anywhere near the iron. I think one side at least of the bumper is a few inches away from the body but the otherside is tightish. I've seen in my parts catalogue (from 1992) that there is a spacer between the bracket and the corner coachbolt. Yet there is no spacer in the post above... :? And if there is a spacer then the rubber seal won't be near the bumper :?
At the moment the rear bumper if off so I'll put it back on and try and take a pic of each corner..however
HELP!
Any ideas anyone?
Also, need to sort that rust out on the inside...what's the best way? powdercoat or black chassis paint?

Thanks!

I think your splashpans may be wrong , they look different to the ones on my 69

you know what....I think you are right

I've just looked at my ebay history and they were advertised as '72 splash pans...
Now why,ffs, did I buy for a '72 when I've got a '70

whooops. Maybe someone wants to do a swap!!
