I want to replace my large front bumper guards with something smaller or remove them completely. Not important enough to spend a lot of money and I don’t want to drill any holes in my bumper. The I have a very complete and original car and any modifications have to be reversible. Anyone have any options they can share.

Some have gotten the tits from the late 75-76 bumpers and bolted them on. They are direct bolt on from what I hear and are significantly smaller.

I don't think the 75/76 tits are direct bolt on, I think the studs are oriented 90 degrees off. I think others have drilled new holes but both old and new holes are covered by either of the tits. But I have early chrome bumpers without any holes for tits and have not researched it. Jim |

Jim No, they're not. They will require different holes, but the A cups will cover them. Sourcing them may be difficult, but I can't say for sure. |
