EScanlon Posted September 8, 2006 Share #17 Posted September 8, 2006 The Front Bumper is the one you'll need to be careful with. That's the one that can be a real bear if you're not careful, and the suggestion to have a helper is a good one.The Rear one, is made from 3 pieces and as such, you can assemble it on the car. The Two cap screws that hold each bumper side extension can be left slightly loose. This allows you to spread the ends out and minimize the risk of scratching the body as you align and mount it. Once you have the bolts started on the bumper bracket to the body, then follow up with the side piece bolts (don't forget the rubber sleeves or in their place, rubber washers). Then it's just a matter of slowly snugging the mounting bolts down and aligning the bumper to the body. Once you've got it centered and aligned, then tighten the side pieces to the center piece. If you are also installing the rubber guard strips, then the only one or two you leave lose are the ones right on top of the center piece. Tighten them down once you've mounted the bumper.FWIWE Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/21479-oh-noes-i-got-the-z-back-from-the-paint-shop/?page=2#findComment-181627 Share on other sites More sharing options...
