Those bumperette brackets are only held on with two aluminum rivets. I'm glad to hear you went with a different design. Those brackets can get ripped off very easily. How is the new hitch attached?

I welded 18" of 3/16th steel angle, top and bottom, then bolted it to the back of the aluminum bumper.
Yeah... it ain't going nowhere. Hahaha

As you can see, I relocated the threaded insert for the tow hook, as well.

My tow hitch is on the bumperettes but I took the whole bar and got the bumperette attachments welded to the bar. Although before that the rivets did hold OK for me, but I felt better after I got it welded. I like your approach, looks really good!
