I shall treat that suggestion with the contempt it deserves, sir! These are not mass-produced BMC offerings, you know...

Nope, still pretty cool. However the 'two' is a step forward, Phil!

Teeny clue - I'm talking about a 'showroom' street 289 as sold in the mid-sixties, not a car adapted for racing.

Do a pair of them cap the vertical round tubes of the rear bulkhead, where the diagonal tubes visible below meet?

Big prize to Bernie! ...except there isn't an actual prize.

Original front overriders had a backing to the upper half. On later cars, a 15/16" hole allowed access to the upper nut retaining the nudge bar (bumper). A chromed Hillman plug was used to close these off.
Rear overriders were open with no backing.
