hermanangus Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Hi all, as I continue to work on my Riv, I find more things that were missed in the "restoration". The latest are the spacers and correct bolts that go through the fender at the end of the wraparound section of the primary bumper. (see attached photo from the manual) I was hoping someone had a set they would be willing to part with, or at least an clear pic with dimensions so I could reproduce them myself. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telriv Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Kevin, Myself I don't use them. IF you or someone else taps the bumper on the pointed corner bingo you now have a bent fender to deal with. Tm T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGerman Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I agree to the risk of damaging fender if there is just a small hit on the corner. With the bolts and washers uninstalled, I saw the bumper ends shaking when car ran in idel. (Ok, you may say I have to fix an issue on my ignition or engine first , 😂 ) I also noticed both brackets were cracked from continious bumper vibration. Is this a common problem with or without the outer bolts installed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telriv Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Mine haven't had the bolts in them for about 50 yrs. now & my brackets haven't cracked. I'm sure your vehicle hasn't taken the beating mine has since new. Tom T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
