Are they literally 4 hoselocks attached to bracket?
How does the bracket attach to the car? Reason i ask is the bumper im lookin at has only a thin ish part it could attach to.

I had a square plate made up for underneath the van at the back behind the bumper,  and put some metal hoselocks into it. I just wanted to keep it all out of sight.

Yes that's basically it. You can screw them to your bumper, or use bolts.

I got them as my system was fitted by Pure Freedom,mine are tucked well in beneath the bumber as they welded mine on :o :o :o
I personally think they connectors are crap and changed them all to better ones including the ones on my system but in general I think the bracket is quite strong.
