MM front bumperframe

Post by TvdWerf »

I had a later bumper on my car, but found an MM / series II bumperblade in acceptable condition.
But the inside part does not fit very well, is this normal?
Or is the inside part from the MM / series II bumper different?

The lowlight split bumper one has a more curved section in the middle than the later one piece bumper. I would take a picture but lost my camera at the LCV 60 event at Gaydon........

For the lowlight you need to fit the complete assembly, valances, blades and fillet. The split bumper was only fitted to lowlights.
The later Series MM/early Series II has a different valance to the Minor 1000 but the blade is the same shape apart from two fixing holes being closer together. This is so that the overiders fitted to the 4 door do not obscure the sidelights
