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.

Here is one source, no affiliation:

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.
