    installing front bumper (67)

    OK, oh experienced ones…..how does one tighten the 4 bolts ( 2 ea. side) that hold bumper to brackets, after the bumper is up and in place?…
    The access holes/plugs seem to be for the bumper guards, so…...

    Step 1. Install weights
    Step 2. Attach bumper to brackets
    Step 3. Carefully push brackets into front of car and then attach them.

    Thanks folks. I was trying to figure out how to adjust for width, as the bracket-to-bumper holes are slotted for adjustment. Trial and error I guess. Thx

    I attach the brackets to the bumper, but not fully tight, I then trial attach the bumper (take your weights out temporarily) and center to the car. You can get to the outer bolt of each bracket from underneath, tighten that one, then remove bumper and tighten the inner. Now reinstall and all will line up.
