December 1, 201410 yr Author comment_459603 I just ordered a set also, with 15% off today.You will be happy, guaranteed. I'm finding the bolts for the rear bumper now, Nissan Hardbody pickup has the same chrome 3 piece bumpers. Jegs has a bumper bolt kit for $6.99 but it's a 5/16". I'll post up what I end up getting today.

December 1, 201410 yr comment_459609 Very, very, nice!If mine were not in good shape, I would be all over those, especially with today's sale.Probably cheaper than getting the originals re-chromed.

December 1, 201410 yr Author comment_459648 Heres's what I ended up getting, http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performance-Products/555/83770/10002/-1?parentProductId=2895853#moreDetails 1/4" are trying to twist in the square hole on the bumper ends so 5/16" will have to work. I'll have them in a few days. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50513-shiny-new-chrome-bumpers/?&page=2#findComment-459648 Share on other sites More sharing options...

December 2, 201410 yr comment_459673 Thanks for the heads up on the sale! I ordered just the front chrome. Going to have to figure out how to put it on my 77 next. Should be fun.

December 2, 201410 yr Author comment_459704 Thanks for the heads up on the sale! I ordered just the front chrome. Going to have to figure out how to put it on my 77 next. Should be fun. Greg Hey Greg. I'm about to do the same as you but I'll be putting my old rusty front bumper on my '77. I found a 1/4" thick shelving bracket at Lowes that's the right width and long enough to make 2 brackets. There's a lot of info out there. This guy makes them but it's more than I want to spend before trying something DIY, http://www.zccjdm.com/catalog.php/azcarbum/dt93862/pd1790406/280Z_TO_240Z_FF__RR__BUMPER_CONVERSION_BRACKETS_ They used to have pictures but not now, I guess people were copying his brackets themselves. They pop up on e-bay occasionally. Maybe we can figure something out.

December 2, 201410 yr Author comment_459705 Where are these made? Carl B. Taiwan is what I read somewhere. They come in a fancy box that says"'70 to '73 240Z Bumper" packaged and wrapped up nicely. I tried to find a scratch, none whatsoever. They polish up like the mirrors in jail.

December 3, 201410 yr comment_459729 I sent fronts and backs to http://tricityplating.com/It's a great option if you want to keep your original bumpers.....they patch up every little nick and dent and put on a triple dip chrome.
