Default Rear bumper fitment

I am having a nightmare of a time trying to fit my rear bumpers on my 133. In the picture below would some one be able to measure the support bar number 35. I suspect mine are too long as they are new items and I do not have the originals to compare.

Just to answer my own question, they are too long, about 30 mm too long. A strategic blow with a mallet to the centre of each bracket will induce enough of a curve to shorten the length and keep the holes aligned.

A good 'combat engineer' solution.
