Just remembered I've still got the rear apron & sides off the early 60's bug I cut up a while ago, I cut it as close as possible to the firewall so the bumper brackets are still there. They look a bit different, theres more to the pressing higher up, but you may be able to cut that bit off when you get the bracket off. The pic is showing the wrong side but its all I've got at this time of night. Let me know if you are interested.

Cheers
Greg
