I couldn't find any chrome bumpers good enough to fit. I still have original 5 bolt bumpers but can't get them chromed at reasonable price was quoted about £200 per bumper. I am hoping a good coat of wax will maintain the stainless ones. I took an over rider with me when looking for bumpers and everything I checked was very poor. Some cheap ones were downright dangerous with sharp edges. The genuine ones are only ones I would use

Hi daz I found that wire I also cut it by the looks of it. Do you reckon I could use this hole instead?

Today I got choke cable and heater cable fitted with the switches connected on front panel heater valve fitted radiator fitted in but need to connect top bracket and thermostat pipe but I'm sure I brought the wrong thermostat housing. I got lower front indicators wired in and repainted my brake hubs not exactly what I wanted to achieve today but it will get there. Cheers Tom

Looking good.
Your top radiator bracket is upside down. Should bolt on the rear and right hand stud.
