VE3 bumper

No problem. Not sure if NOR used any different fastener suppliers (mine is an LA car), but my understanding from the NCRS boys is that numerous common head markings have been observed on survivor cars, and were used interchangeably; whatever supplier's product came out of the bolt bin was what went on the car.

It appears the outers are hard mounted to the bumper. If so that is not the correct attachment set up for the outer (KR KL) brackets to bumper.
It utilizes 2 bushings along with a metal cup and recessed screw.

James, which photo(s) are you referring to above? If you mean the last 2 I posted, those are of the inner bracket.

I see now... I thought the photo was of the KL KR bracket attachment and it was of the inner VE3 bracket to Frame Extension bracket.

Another question: Where does the blue load rest go in the trunk? Does it attach to the jack mast piece or is it held secure separately? Hate to see it smash the inside of the quarters!!!
Thanks.

The only car that I've seen with all the original VE3 jack equipment still present had the load rest hook attached to the jack mast, as per the standard bumper jack mounting. A sample size of one is no basis for an assumption, but I can't imagine where the load rest hook could be securely mounted on it's own..... Pity, because originals being so hard to find, it's a shame they're hidden under the spare!
IIRC, the standard jack mast mounting is shown in UPC10 of the 69 AIM.

Its part of the jack, and mounts under the spare tire like a standard jack does
