Title: front bumper help please
Post by: 69maritime on September 03, 2005, 08:00:54 PM
I am in the process of putting my fenders, grill and bumper back on.  This is the first time I have done this.  The problem I have right now is that the holes in my bumper do not line up with holes on the Brace.  Is their a trick to maybe adjusting the brace to line up with the bumper?  I have tried anything yet, any suggestions?

I would try leaving the bumper brace bolts a little loose to see if that helps getting
your bumper bolts lined up, it has worked for me.

 :iagree: Leave as much loose as you can, there is adjutment room in it. Once you get it together I use a couple of floor jacks on either side of the bumper to get it level then tighten the brackets, check and readjust as needed.

 :iagree: Do this everytime you bolt on any part.
