In the process of moving over knackered bumper bar to clean one I have managed to lose a few of the large bolts that bolt in from underneath into the bar. Can anyone remember what size they are and are they straight or tapered at the end ?


cheers

you seem to come up trumps for all things technical or parts

I guess I can try and source some using those part numbers ?

Well technically I didn't lose them. Found the previous owner had a bodge job done by some numpties garage. The bumper bar was so rotten that the garage had found a flat bar and welded bolts into it and dropped them down through the holes and popped on nuts from the underside. Over the years the nuts and bolts had rusted so when I took off the bumper bar I was expecting bolts from the underside (which is normal) and was confused when I found nuts instead.

So no bolts for my new bumper bar hence the reason for asking.

as we all know UK classics suffer from rust on these things but mine was really bad.
