    Fog light hole cover installation

    I have a set of Fog Light Hole covers to fill the Fog Light holes in my stock 1973 911T front bumper.

    How are they attached? The rear of each cover has a flat piece of metal that slips over the studs on the back side of the cover. What does this clamp to?

    Also, is there a rubber seal between the cover and the bumper?

    TIA
    Harry

    Harry attached only by the u shaped bracket and clamp's to nothing it just takes up slack, a squeeze fit.Take the bar off the studs install cover from front, bracket from back tighten until happy. It does take a black beading available from the bird.

    thanks. It turns out the bird no longer carries the part. I ordered it from International Merchantile.

    Your welcome Harry after post I looked in my 'left over pile' and found enough for 1/2 cover.

    Wow! Those guys at International Merchantile are fast! I placed my order on Tuesday and they arrived today. I guess I need to get going, paint my covers and get them installed.

    Mark,

    One question. I noticed the trim is not symetrical (ones side of the u is longer than the other). Does the long side face out or in?
