Hello Mr. R,
if you are refering to the chrome strip at the top of the front valance, I'll bet there are more than two, most of it is hidden by the radiator.

Steve it cant be replaced without removing the rad so there are definatly more than 2. Its probably easiest to take the whole front panel of with the rad still on it.

Yes about 6 wee steel nuts with shake proof washers right the way across - this holds the apron to the radiator holding brackett so it has to have a few to keep it al together. Two hoses and four bolts (and a puddle on the floor) and the radiator is out. Also it is easier with the bonnet pull mech removed.
