| June 52 definitely has the short mounts. These were changed to long mounts at some point in the 6 month Zwitter period (Oct 52 to Mar 53), IIRC. |

To go deeper the split rear bumper mounts, also split has two different lenghts, one is 195 mm and other 205 mm. I have no idea when each was used, my 1/52 and 6/52 has shorter ones, as my friend's 10th October manufactured 1951 has too. But an other 16th October 51 manufactured has longer ones. Maybe 2 suppliers and mixed?
The difference is on the front end.
205 mm (my own made):
195 mm (borrowed Wolf):

| Interesting, I did not know that! The longer version of the short mount has a flange at the front end, for maybe a couple of extra spotwelds? I hope they were used interchangeably; if not, no peeking under the rear fenders please! |

| i noticed that a few weeks ago as i must change mine soon. kdf service does the longer version, while wolf the shorter. i still don't know what i must get but after cleaning the supports ill know for sure, there's still original metal left |

What would be correct thickness of sheetmetal for the bumper mounts?
1mm too flimsy, 1,2mm fine or 1,5mm?
