By now i was in the mode and decided to remove the bumpers and make a tidier front number plate bracket. I just cut two strips of aluminum 185mm long 80mm wide by 1.6mm? thick, stuck them in a vice. Bent them by hand and them used a raw hide mallet to get a nice ninty degree bend. dilled the holes, rivoted them together, fitted the number plate and attached to the car. I had to elongate on of the hole to get it to fit. Im happy with the result. Ill do the back next week when i can afford a LED light.
the rivots
back view (before i elongated the rear most hole)
Fitted, nice and snug.
The left hand ball joint turned out to be stuffed so ill have to take a look at that.
