Are there seals for the split bumper brackets or is there only one type of seal? The reason I ask is the split brackets are thinner,2 pieces of metal instead of 3.

The part number for the current version is 111707197A so that means it is a revised part. The original would have been 111707197. Not sure what the change was but it most likely had to do with the width of the slot for the bumper bracket to coincide with the change from two to three leaf brackets.

Progressive refinements doesn't say anything about the seals, the brackets or the rear body bumper mounts. all it says is Oct 1 1952, Now: wide profile, strong overriders.
