Hey All
I'm debumpering my BT7 ,front 2 Lucas lamps , rear Bugeye bumperettes.

In de pictures on the web , I see different mountings

Hey Dougie
Thanks for a fast response
I've put them the right way.....
But I've made some new supports (braquets) to get them closer to the body....
Need to put them a little down because boot (lid) was in the way
But the view is better ,close to the body.....
regards Raf

I agree, I've always thought the stuck out too far. How about a picture when you're done.
Best

Will do so (I'll make some pictures)
But first I want to finish it
I've made new supports for the front lucas lights and made some towingsupports aswell
Took of the Wwheels to sandblast and paint them in black (sandblasting is done but painting willbe done @the end of january)
Made some new supports for the bumperettes.
I think the Healey is more "attractive" without bumpers , but thats my own opinion (without starting a debate,yes or no)
The Healey btw is OEW
regards Raf

Bumperette require deep modification of the rear brackets- My are very nearest to the rear boot lid(few mm)

modification require a professional skill and must be realized during the body restoration to avoid paint demages

Hey Andrea
Making new brackets for the rear aswell
To get them close to the body and in the correct possition ,needs a lot of tray and adjust
Thanks for those pictures
