Question Facelift foglamps

I have a pair of fog lamps for my 75 including all the wiring & wiring diagram but there are no fixing brackets for the bumper. Has anyone any idea how they can be obtained.

There should be three lugs/brackets on the fog lamp moulding that screws go through to go into holes in a support bracket already in the back of the bumper - do you not have these ? When I fitted mine, I did not need any brackets.

Red face Facelift fog lamps

Thanks for the info. I'll have a look again on the bumper.
When I first tried to fit them there was a projection fitted to the bumper but the fog lamps didn't fit the holes exactly & the fog lamps didn't fit tightly into the bumper.
My other car a 45 has a separate bracket to fit the foglamps into which then attaches to the bumper

Are the lamps the Mk2 type or the Mk1? They're slightly different.

Default Fog Lamps

I bought them on Ebay as facelift ones. The wiring diagram has a sketch of the face lift bumper. I will check again during the week. many thanks to all for your comments

The beam height adjuster is positioned differently on Mk1 and Mk2 lamps, which means the Mk1 lamps foul the mounting bracket on a Mk2 bumper. They can be made to fit if necesary by cutting a bit of the bracket away. Hopefully you'll not need to do that.
