Morning all,

        as the '59 nears completion I have run into another problem to whit:

There is a "U" bracket that hold the top of the rear bumper to the body

The "U" bracket is not symmetrical

The "U" bracket if installed with the longer end toward the car lines 
up with a hole in the body

Inside the trunk is a buttress for the bumper

The buttress has holes that bolt to the floor and a hole for a bumper 
bolt to go through

The hole in the body and the hole in the buttress do NOT line up.

Questions:

        Are there more than one buttress?  ie. could I have the wrong buttress 
for the car?  If so, anyone have  the right size?

        Which way is the "U" bracket supposed to be mounted? Long  or short 
side to the car?


Thanks,

Lester
