If it's an Australian brochure yours are probably right since your reversed on the other side of the earth.

It's an American brochure - I've never seen a Cruiser with bumperettes down here. However, I think there may be something to your logic - I'm leaving them backwards

That looks backwards to me too, but I'm not sure from this angle.

Peter,
The step on your 43 looks like it is better suited to the bumperettes being 'backwards'. That is also why I always thought they went the other way.

Really nice to see this project. The only thing I don't understand is not keeping the orginal tub, looked so clean.
Also now looking at these troopies I really want one. Now in my free time I'm looking at them all over oz. I noticed they have them in South america, germany.
Keep up the great work.
Im in Canada and its to bad we did not get them here.

Having a senior moment. 
I have 6 of these, I know 2 go under the radiator core support.
Where do the other 4 go?

I think 1 on each side goes under the running boards, the last 2 I'm not sure about, I think there is a spot between the rear crossmember and the body?
Pretty sure last two are clipped to first floor cross member forward off rear sill

I believe they go under the very battery tray on which they are sitting.

The 2 under each running board sound right. As far as the other 2.....I don't remember them being under the body or battery tray, but I could be wrong?
That'd be the correct answer.

How many under the battery tray? I have 6 bolts on the battery tray. Do all 6 go underneath it? Maybe I have some more in a tote that I haven't seen yet?

There should be four under the battery tray and two under the radiator ox bow. You have Kevin's stainless tray, so that may have more than just the four bolts - but factory is only four with those canvas isolators (and Kevin makes everything better than the boys at Toyota, so it likely has six in order to withstand assault by terrorsts or a nuclear melt down...sad that Kevin did not make ***ishima for the Japs).
As I recall, the pads under the running boards are rubber. You would not want canvas down there, as they would simply hold water/salt, and those puppies rust badly enough as it is.

Look what fed ex just dropped off, a freshly Jet Hot coated pacemaker header? 
Looks a bit nicer than when it left 3 weeks ago.

what's the cost on getting a header coated?

$300 + the ride. I sent it to them just like you see in the pics. Supposedly it is media blasted, dipped and then whatever else they do? I got the JH2000 coating which is the highest and most durable coating they have. They have a 1300 F coating, so maybe that's cheaper? I know the 1300 F coating has more of a smooth finish you can either get in satin or gloss. I guess personally I just wanted the most durable finish, I didn't need the, "bling o meter" going off when you opened the hood...in fact I thought that would look out of place if it was shiney. The JH 2000 coating comes in a few different colors but is like a pebble gritty finish. I just had them coat it in grey.
It went to Oklahoma City, hell you probably could run it up there at lunch time as close as you are?
