    I have two new bumpers for the chevette kit one is longer than the other.
    the longer one has what appears to be a crank hole in the center so I thought it might be the front but on the other hand the rear fenders are wider on the chevette kit than on my VW migi which led me to believe its for the back. anyone know which is which?

      Will,  MG Magic’s parts list shows the following,

     Front bumper,rear engine kit   53” across

      Front bumper front engine kit  57 1/2 ” across

     Rear bumper MG Kit  55 1/2 across

     Rearbumper MG Kit  61 1/2” across, special , no longer available.

     Perhaps your kit was shipped with the shorter rear bumper because the longer one is not available any more.

     If it works better to use the longer one on thr rear ,you could use a  chrome bolt and washer to plug the crank hole.

    The rear bumper on my BCW VW has a hole in the middle. There’s a bolt through it into a bracket.

    Looks like the originals have a center hole too.

    Just FYI

    Anyone else notice that the picture link Ed posted leads to a picture of steel copies of our TD replicas?

    Who knew they made those?

    It’s a low-quality build, Paul, using obsolete technology. Admirable attempt though! And quite popular in their day.
