    I used flat washers. The low mileage '70S photos, as well as other photos I looked at, seemed to shown flat washers. The PET however spells out a lock ring.

    There's a close tolerance small OD lock washer that is hard to see in the picture . They are used on all the allen head bolts . I've gotten them from McMaster Carr .

    My '70 Targa project also had small lock washers under every allen head bolt. Based on the rust and other crud on the bolts, I don't think they had been previously removed, but can't confirm it's original.

    Missed your 8/14 post till this morning ....mounting of front bumper, trim housings etc.
    Fantastic fit. Great work.
    Also having similar issues with the rears, am still mounting the donated rear 1/4 panels , bumpers ,guards and light housing.
    I am mocking up all details before welding the 1/4 panels as there is some minor adjustment I can do at this stage.

    DS seems to be dialing in just fine but PS bumper is more challenging.

    Keep up the great work !

    Am sure you worked them but I had good luck with the fit and the rubber trim by adjusting tension on the Rear of bumper and J tube bolted connection ....as well as the clamp type between the fender edge and the bumper as they clamp together via the bolt connection.

    That is a very tricky detail to get right .
    Good luck and keep us posted

    Thanks for the tip Frank. I was able to fit the L&R bumpers to my satisfaction but then the brackets for the bumper guards would not fit the license plate panel. I went round and round adjusting the brackets and fitting the license panel and bumper guards. In the end I decided to move on and let the pros do the final adjustments.
