body and interior Front 72 bumper bracket part numbers?

[infinkc]

I'm doing a front bumper conversion on my 74, was told I need 72 brackets.  Anyone have the part number?  I see a few places that sell a full kit for 200, but I really only need the brackets.

Last time I checked, the 72 brackets were NLA. I would look for the 67-71 style

Those are 73 only bars. They will push the bumper further away from the body, requiring new holes to attach the bumper ends to the fenders.

Hmm, well I guess it's a good thing I made my own.

If your doing a Euro bumper conversion then why not use the Euro brackets. Parts # 51 1 11 815 493 & 51 1 11 815 494.

If you don't have them get the weird shaped things ("Base") that sit between the bumper & bracket.

Here's one place you can get them at a real nice price.

Pretty clever way to mount the front bumper. But,if you look at the car from the side with the front bumper attached, you will see that the rubber strip on bumper is quite a bit higher than the side moldings on fenders and doors. They were supposed to line up.in a single, flowing line, from the factory

They look to line up pretty good in the garage but I have not seen it on the street yet.
