Rear Bumper

[BILLY BLACKARROW]

Hi to the knowledgeable one's or how knows more than me ( that's most of you ).--- My question this time is is there a spacer between the rear bumper and the body as I have 23mm one side and 32mm the other and the stainless plated bolts that I have are only 15 to 20 mm long.

G'day Bill,

From memory, the rear bumper irons bolt directly to the rear subframe without a spacer.

If there are spacers, then I've lost them from my wagon (I was cleaning up the rear bumper last week - lots of rust, but no spacers).

Cheers,
Harv

I know the rear bumper irons bolt directly to the rear subframe without a spacer, what I am interested in is the space between the bumper bar and the body as it rapes around the side.

Hi Billy,
should be rubber compression washer 20mm thick between the forward facing rear bumper ends. The chrome head coach bolts tend to succumb to rust and shear off on removal. They should be 30 mm long I would think. Possibly what you have is a couple of front outer ones which are shorter as I recall.

Cheers,
Clay

Thanks Clay
I did have one rear side that had the rubber spacer but wasn't sure if someone had played around with it or not I have bought two black door stoppers that I will trim down and two stainless cuphead bolts polished up they should look the goods
Thanks
