I've seldom sold bumpers from my late bump pile because I don't know what dfits what. These are bumpers that have come with type 3 parts lots I've bought but not guaranteed to be type 3. Any educated folks want to chime in and offer some support so I can list them for what the are and get them into circulation. I don't have a 70+ type 3 here to do any test fits with. I'm guessing there could be 411/412 mixed I. Here or late ghia? Thanks for your time.

I've grouped them into 3 categories. So first for the rears. They have more of a straight upper rear edge and a tighter turn to the corners. 3 of the 6 rears I have measure 57 to 57 1/2. The other 3 measurements I took all seemed to match up or are really close to one another so really only the tip to tip is slightly different.

The other 3 rears I have are a bit narrower center of tip to center of tip and range from 56 1/4 to 56 7/8. A couple of their other measurements I took were slightly different and the one missing measurements on the tape has double the wholes and has been modified.

For the fronts I only have two one is 59 1/2 and the other is 59. Their other measurements are close to each other.
