Does anybody have a pic or maybe can tell me where their 240z front bumper brackets atttch to on the car? This question is for 70 thru 72 owners. Thanks for the help.

There are two bolts each that attach in the space behind the grille but in front of the radiator just below where the hood hinges attach.

I don't have many pics of that area before I took the bumper off, but here's a pic from my 11/69 car that should do you. See the circled area at the very top.

Thats what I thought. Do I have to make new holes for the ends of the bumper to attatch to the valance and fender?

Sounds like it'll hurt...maybe this will help

What happened to the holes that came with the car?

Its a 73 and im trying to bring the bumpers more closer to the body. It has holes but im guessing since its going to move back a few inches it needs a new hole. Am I wrong? Please help.

Now that I have tried to do this I know that whoever has said in the past that it is possible to bring the bumpers closer on a 73 by changing just the brackets is wrong. The bumbers are too big on a 73. Everytime you adjust one side the other side sticks out 2 inches. So in my opinion you need to get pre 73 bumpers as well. Does that sound more right to you guys? If you guys have done this please tell me if im wrong or right.

Pretty sure you're gonna need the earlier bumper to go with the early type mounts. Not only because the ends of the bumpers aren't the same, but also because the "plate" where the bumper bolts to the mounts are also quite different.

Any idea how much a front bumper goes for pre 73? And how much should I sell mine for? I would rate mine an 8 out of ten.
