'41 Bumper Bracket
Hi,
while removing the brackets from my rusty and dented old front bumper, I noticed that both inner brackets are twisted.
Is that normal? The outher ones are straight.
Purpose of the twist? Do they have to point up or down?
I plan to have the brackets podwer coated and the bumper replaced by a stainless steel one.
Glad if you can supply some answers.
Another question: What book should I buy to get more informations concerning the body? Any recommendations?
Thank's very much for your valuable replies to my earlier threaths.
Gab.

Mich 41, I had the same trouble but only on one side. It looks like the inner one in the pic is bent more than the outer bracket. this would explain why the bolt holes don't line up where they bolt to the frame. I was able to straighten mine in the vise with a large adjustable wrench for leverage. They are spring steel and do not want to bend very easily but don't heat them or they will not be spring steel any longer. You will take the temper out of them. Steve
