bumper bolts

Post by **domiles1** » 23 Oct 2006, 19:30

Just removed my bent rear bumper to find it has been held on with basin fixings! I assume these are not correct! And the spacers between the bumper and its mounting bar were a collection of washers and M12 nuts! I cannot find any info on what should be there or where to buy new bumper mounting parts. Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Dom.

The rear bumper is held on by four bolts. Two bolts screw in horizontally into the bumper mounting brackets & the other two screw in vertically from underneath.

theres no spacers--the rear bumper jus bolts on with m8 bolts & nuts--use 13 mm spanner

NUTS!?

There are no nuts holding on the rear bumper, just four bolts. The threads for the bolts are in the two bumper mountain brackets.

--ha! ha!--yer right--they are m8 bolts tho--the brackets stick thru the rear valance--the plastic endcaps fix to bumper with mushroom head bolts-you bolt these on first then bolt bumper to van iiI do asume tho you are talkin about the standard cheap steel bumper-not the big plastic ones--

I've consulted the oracle according to Dr.Haynes & he in his wisdom has
decided not to provide any diagrams of T25 bumpers/brackets etc.

Looks like you need to find a scrapper or put an ad in the 'wanted' section of this forum. Hope you find some soon.
