I am missing 2 covers for my bumper brackets for my 65. I think I have the rears.
Ideally, I'd like to get a good, used, front ones as I'm not confident on the quality of the fit of repros. However, I don't know how to visually identify the correct ones. I've read that there was a difference in the 70-71 vs prior covers.
I found these pics that show 70-71 on left and earlier on right (both rear).
I've not found a similar pics of the front ones. Can someone help with this?
The ones I have.
I believe I had bought a set of 4 but cannot find the other two. I didn't pay attention to the differences when i bought the set at Kelley Park - back in 2018 or 19. So need to look for a pair as well as 4 of the spacer plates.

Have you seen these currently in the tS classifieds?

They have the oval holes for the tall overrider style's support bars which were standard equipment for the US market. But since you're probably looking at the Euro-style ones, you could have small oval sheetmetal patches made, weld them in and smooth over, then paint them body color.
The factory-original front bracket covers on my US-spec '64 Ghia are fastened with TWO threaded holes. |
