Default sapphire cosworth front bumper

hi
can anyone help?
Just taken off my bumper and the T brackets snapped. Also not sure how they fit at the front, surely its not just held by 2 dodgy side clips?
any pictures available of a complete bumper?

It just has the side supports and the main ones that go into the front chassis box section.

Thanks for responding. Does it just rest on the chassis box section? Any ideas what to do when the brackets on the side of the bumper, referred to as "T" brackets have snapped?

thanks

it slides into a rubber mount into the chasis leg, if your carefull you can put bolts with big washers into the side brakets and then nuts through the wings to hold them on, i did this with mine.

Can make up some new ones easy enough using sheet metal, usually the main big inner flat part of the bumper is there, so just do as I did and through bolt with SS nut and bolt, this will be needed and cut to size, file down the edge of the support part around the hole and you can then hold a nut there between the outer bumper rear face and the flat section of the support, whilst putting a bolt through from engine side to bumper direction, I'll piccie mine when I get me new one sprayed, as lot easier to show than describe.

Just found this, not the cheapset route but are spot on https://passionford.com/forum/trader...-brackets.html
