I am wondering if its a bumper top, bumper or car? The top is 914 rubber and was bought a year or so ago. The car is not bashed in any wear and the bumper was rechromed by Oscar about a year ago. It fits the same way on both sides starting at the headlights towards the out fender. Again both sides are the same.

The metal insert that goes into the dog bone hole is about 3/16 longer than the dog bone is thick. This extra length fits into the bolt through hole. If it is not positioned in the hole it will hold the bumper out at the top
Sounds obvious but you have to hold the weight of the bumper up while tightening bolts or they will bind, feeling tight but not really. I used bar clamps to hold the bumper up last time I did it |
