I have a total of three original 57 bumpers, original one from my 57 and two that I purchased as spares. Both spares that I bought have a tri-angular brace or added bracket which after some research I found it is a brace for using the original 57 bumper jack. Just a question here but does anyone
re-install them during a re-build/restore? My '57 never had an original bumper jack when I bought it and maybe that is the reason for no braces? Were they installed on ALL 57 bumpers on the build line or are they a dealer option? Not really planning on installing them on my re-chromed bumpers since I see no time I will actually use a 57 bumper jack. Are they required for a "points" show?
