Any suggestions for improving front bumper alignment greatly appreciated. The mounting bolts are fully seated with the appropriate washers/lock washers. Right side is better than the left side; neither are very good. My trusted local body shop declined to try as this is the first 914 they've seen...LOL

The bumper could be tweaked, the front end could be off or both. You never know what’s happened on these 50 year old cars. Sometimes you just have to go to the hardware store and buy enough washers to make it work.
If it was me, I’d remove the bumper, put it on a flat floor and take a good look at both the bumper and the front end. It might reveal a twist that you have to compensate for. A laser level pointed at the front end can also be very telling. |
