To be honest, the reason for installing Lucas turn signals was to declutter the car. This is very much at odds with the concept of running US-spec bumpers, with their cumbersome 'towel-rails'. One or the other – not both. And preferably not the bumpers… IMHO, of course.  |

Thanks Keith, were my initial thought, just having got a fender bender in the last week bumpers seem so much more appealing on the bug. Think you have a point though T bars may be the way forward. Cheers Alex

I want to say the white 67 Gabbard built was set up like that? But I do agree with Keith...
