73 Bumper mounts

Post by mgbgtn »

I'm trying to mount the front and rear bumpers on my 73 spider but have no idea as to what the side mounts look like as the car was apart when I got it. Lots of small parts have gone missing over the last 25 years the p.o. has had it apart so I don't even know if I have all the parts. Any pictures or descriptions of behind the fenders would be a big help.

Some of the 73 like mine have a post on the inside of the bumper that just goes through a twisted L type bracket the bolts to the body then the bumper post goes through a hole in the bracket with a grommet around it. I can get pics of mine for you probably tomorrow

Is there something on the inside of the fender? The reason I ask is that there is a large cup washer welded to the inside of the fender where the bolt goes through. Mine also has the posts on the inside of the bumper ends.
