Are front bumper brackets curved?

[Walter Moore]

Are the brackets that attach the front bumper on a 240Z straight or curved. When I bought my 71 it had been in an accident of some kind and the front bumper was missing. I assumed that the bumper brackets were bent in the collision, but now I see the following for sale on Ebay...

and those look just like the ones that I have... except that mine are rusty of course... I do live in Indiana.

Are they supposed to be that shape?

Hi Walter,

I just stripped and repainted my front and rear bumper brackets

for my 1972, and my fronts looked just like those.

Cheers!
