Hi there,
I'm in the progress of swapping my 75 rubber bumper to the pre 75 steel bumper version.
In order to do it right I need the diameter of the holes to be drilled for the pre 75 bumper mounts.
It would be extremely helpfull if somebody who owns a pre 75 car could give me the exact measurements of the location of the mounting holes.

Thanks a lot!

greetings from Germany....

Actually quite a few threads on it. Pretty easy update/backdate. The holes are sized for the bolts that hold on the bumpers. Mx10 I believe but I could be wrong. The other trick is to use studs in the bumpers instead of blots. Makes it a bit easier to install on the car.
