Yes, all true. But...............(isn't there always a but?), I think that
there are/were two types of badge bar.
One is the fairly useless/flimsy one like I've got(!), which simply fastens
onto the splash guard thingie.
The other goes through the splash guard and mounts onto the bumper bars
underneath. This is rigid enough for lights and badges.

However, if you are intetested in the period fitting, then that is to a
badge
bar. **AND ** that is how the works cars were fitted before the introduction
of
frogeye-style lights when they needed more than two lights.
They can be stabilised by a brace running back through the lower part of the
front shroud if you want to. Some of the Healey suppliers sell them.
