should there be 2 or 4?

and were are they cant see them or feel them
can someone give me some ideas

Physio

If i can remember right, i think there's one on each end by the wheel & there's one on each clamp that goes into the chassis next to the fog light's (under the car)

I stand to be corrected as i havent worked on a cossie for years

nellyscossy

there are two 13mm bolts on either side of the bumper (on a saff) they are behind the wheelarch liner on the front bottom of each wing they usually seize and break your bumper so plenty of wd first..then the bumper just pulls off

i think pj do replacement plastic panels that replace the whole lot

see this pic? the wing will get sorted if you just strighten th emetal out
there should be a triangle there not a round hole, the plastic thing that supports the bumper and the bolt goes through just clips into place in this hole (it goes in and twists to lock into place)

yeah but my bumper still needs new bits either side

you can get the bits from ford

around the £70 i think

i have to get them for mine

you could cheat if you want by pulling the bump strip away and drilling a hole behind it and using a long self taper into the wing then cover it up again with the strip

is this a common thing that people do with the self tapper?

its cheap simple and does the job

but if you want to do it properly then get a new fitting kit

im having to buy 2 wings as my wings are rotten on that area so just replacing that bit with anew fitting kit aswell

if you do it make sure its a long screw

you will be surprised in how long it needs to be

slowpoke
