TS1992 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Hi, I'm mounting my new bumpers to my '55 century but I have some problems to remember where do the 2 small bracket go, I've circled them on the attached picture, anybody has a better memory than mine? maybe a photo can help better, thank you.

NTX5467 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 This might be helpful, possibly? On the www.GreeneHDProductions.com website, there should be some episodes of "Reality Rides" in which they disassemble a '55 Buick Special for a complete restoration. I believe there's a segment on taking the rear bumper off the car, where Carl shows some of the hidden bolts and such for the brackets. Maybe that might help?

NC-car-guy Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 I think those are part of attaching the uprights on either side of the license plate... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick5563 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Nope. Those go on the outer parts (under the taillights) of the bumpers between the bumper and mount so you can jack up the car with the original jack.

Use a floor jack or bottle jack under the chassis. Edited August 6, 2016 by Paul Falabella add photo (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
