Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Classic Morgans (pre-CX) Trueing up the bumper tube assemblies

Having tapped into my inner Svengali, I replaced the broken bumper tube assemblies on my '58 4/4. Now I have to get them "even"
It looks like the bolted fittings, once loosened, can be nuanced in to attaining the vertical copacetic, however.
one bumper tube assembly is sticking out more than the other.
My parts supplier catalogs Bumper Tube Assembly spacers in various lengths, so I'm wonder (guessing actually) if that is how the task is to be handled?
My thought is to bolt the bumper brackets on to the tube assemblies and bolt a 2x4 in lieu of the bumper to measure the gap needing a spacer, then ordering the correct length piece.
Is this how it's supposed to be done?

Fifty plus years on and mine is exactly the same, the asymmetry does my head in….

A big bag of washers is essential

Thanks, Rog!

I wonder f I can salvage portions of the old broken bumper tube assemblies to fashion any bumper tube spacers I'll probably require?
There's got to be some straight sections of the tubing I can use.
If the bumper tube spacers aren't threaded, then I can't see why it wouldn't work.
I guess I won't know until I break out the hacksaw.
