bumper sagg
« on: 15 December 2010, 19:41 »
weh you look front on a the car the grill at the passengerside is lined up with the grill but as you follow it along to the driverside it drops down prob about and inch or just under, now is this due the the bits of plastic on the wings that hold the bumper?

Just another little thing ive been meanign to sort out :P

Ive found this with a few big bumper 2's. Are the bumpers genuine?

Common for the bumper brackets to snap.

If the bumper bracketss and wing clips are all in good condition then its a case of adjusting the slam pannel and bumper iron.

Ive had spacers and other bits fabbed up just to get mine to sit right

Can take a while to adjust. I find this the worst alignment task.

Spacers fitted under the bumper irons inside the chassis legs ;)

The Bumper was a brand new one (big boys toys maybe?) but when i met up with Horney and we fitted it I think he did mention it about spacers will look into this

a bit pikey i know but groups of washers will work as spacers.

replacement wing brackets can be a PIG to fit  :angry:

I have a wonkey bumper but how do you insert the washers when the chassis leg is inaccessible as soon as you slide the bumper irons in????

There is enough access - at least on big bumpers, through the indicator hole IIRC

I somehow managed to take this photo - so there is plenty of room.
