Bump

Have started to fit the late europa bumpers. The front went on quite easily with minimal modification to the holes in the irons, however the rear is more difficult as the mounts for the original bumper are in the wrong place. I have had to drill new holes in the inner wings to suit, and getting nuts on the end of the bolts is quite a challenge due to their inaccessibility. Also having trouble fitting the cheap repro running boards, as the bolts won't go into the captive nuts in the cheap repro heater channels easily. One nut has broken off leaving the half screwed in bolt dangling - hmmm. Maybe tapping out the nuts would improve things.
