So it's time to reinstall the bumper of my '75. Is there a thread that explained how to do it or could I get some suggestions on how to, or even a diagram?
Thanks in advance, Finn |

The Haynes 914 Manual, pages 192-196, has pretty good illustrations and directions for the 75-76 style bumper installations. The Porsche 914 factory manual and PET part catalog also cover this in even more detail.

Thank you for all of the help,
Does anybody know what the correct specs of the bolts that secure the bumper to the shock are? And where can I find the plastic pins that hold the top of the bumper down? Thanks, Finn |

item #3 (the # is cut off in the above picture) reads Bolt, Hex Hd M12x1.5x55 in my old ** catalog. there should also be a spacer the bolt lives in that goes between the prongs on the front end of the bumper shock. i imagine bruce stone might have some of both.
