They need to fit the old type sidelights on the mudguards, for safety.

If the new head light mounting bar is not a bolt-on, what extra difficulties will there be when it comes time to remove the engine?

John, It looks to be bolted to the upper shock mount, like the current brackets, but also to the lower front frame horns, so you would, I think, need to take it off to change the air filter, or look at the cam belt. Reminds me of some v-8 Fords in the 1980's where to change the back plugs ( in the days when people changed plugs) you had to undo the motor mounts and shift the engine. A bit of an impediment to normal maintenance. Worth it to please the Government, though!

Plus side. It might mean less burned body parts.

If I had to change it to keep my car, I would. It's growing on me I guess.

Like the Healy Bugeye sprite, or the '38 and '39 Ford "bugeye"?
