Today I scored front and back 916 bumbers. They had been sitting for a while and the steel mounting brackets (worked into the mold w/ fiberglass) are rusted out.
Looking for any advice on mounting or templates. Anyone else mounted these? TIA, Larry |

My bumpers were from A.I.R and had brackets but that didn't help me much, with lining them up. The front bumper need to have material added to bring it up flush with the hood. I also filed the original mounting holes on the car lower, to move the bumper down to meet the fender. The rear bumper I had to cut the top off and raise it about an inch to get it looking right, then also lengthen the sides to meet the fender lip.
I can take measurements of my brackets if you need them to get you in the right area, but the bumpers will only fit as nice as the time you put into them. |
