Distance between posts 32" (81.5cm) Radiator panel cut to get on ! is this the right distance (between inner posts). If picture is up ? you may notice repair top right under post, R/H.
Would anyone care to measure there on posts distance ??

Hi,
I measured the distance between the centres of the bumper studs, which came to 34 1/16".

Not sure if this absolutly correct but my front panel and bumper slot on ok.

Don't know if that helps

Crickey ! I'm 2" out thought the naff repair someone did had something to do with it! Can I say I'm really impressed with your Engine bay dont reckon on doing same as I want to run this in Spring and get a complete original car soon after. I must stop making excuses to the wife about checkin things on Moggyone! its wearing a bit thin now.
Cheers

Don't forget that was between centres rather than inner edges.....I didn't intend to take things this far, I bought this one on ebay last NYE!! All it needed was the brakes and a service, but I started fiddling with a few bits and now I've got all 4 wings off as well as the front

And all so my passengers had thier own doors (it's a 4 door)....well that's my exuce for buying another Mog and I'm sticking to it!!!

Just popped out to measure up but because grill is fitted I can't get any accurate figure, but! when I fitted my grill it was out from the bumper mountings (holes in the grill) I am not sure which side was out but I ended up moving the hole in the grill to line up with the bumper mount, about 5/16 as I remember.
The car has never been bumped, so it must have been like it from day one!

The only way to get the front bumper mounts in the correct position is to fit the front panel and then make sure that both the mounts are in the centre of the holes provided for them.
