Hi Kaz,
Thank you for your reply. I'm sure that your explanation is very good, but my ability to understand is less so!
If you are able to post a photo, that'd be great - there is no rush as the car isn't being put together again until the middle of next week.
I don't know whether or not it helps explain how this extension bracket sits on the car, but just in case I have posted a photo of the right side / tow bracket area of my car below.

Rowan Atkinson knows.
It's the Honda NSX."
