Hi Rick,
I'll give it a try just to get you started on the right track. Rich C.
or Mike S, or Curt A. or ? will likely add more details.
The BN2 apron is completely different than the 3000's. It bolts up tight
against the shroud & extends forward nearly to the bumper inside corner.
The apron is mounted to the shroud with 10-32 pan head Phillips screws.
A black solid vinyl welt of 1/4" diameter goes between the two. The
outer (bumper end) screws had the heads on the inside, the rest on the
outside. Where the apron fits under the bumper edge there are two
plastic bumpers in it to prevent contact between bumper & apron. On my
BN2 the apron is aluminum. The crease may have been to allow for driving
light wiring to pass through.
