Bumper locating brackets

Post by B-Hive »

Thats the best way that I know how to describe them, but yes I'm after the plastic rectangular box shaped bracket that fits to the inner side of the (front) bumper and serves to locate and secure the trailing edge of the bumper onto the inner wing..

Not sure if they are the same for MK1 and MK2 or for that matter whether they are interchangeable left/right...but will need a LHS Mk1 version if any one can assist

There's at least two different sizes on Mk2s, so might be best to get dimensions. I'm sure someone will have one.

I'll be sending a parcel over to Ashley in the near future, so if anyone can get one to me I can pop it in the box and combine the postage.

I only found out when trying to fit a bumper to Matt H's car at the ICCCR - one size was too small, and the other too big! So there may in fact be three!

The later 16v with the fibreglass bumpers are different to standard Mk 2 cars for sure. Not sure if Mk1 to Mk2 are different.

I was told that 16v Ph2 front plastic locators are the same as Mk2 plastic rear locators, anyone any further thoughts on this? I've lost a front valver one :(

I'm pretty sure they're handed, as they're tapered and have a slightly different clip arrangement top and bottom.

Couldn't tell you if any Mk2 items will fit I'm afraid

Basic dimensions are 8cm X 6cm for the face of the bracket.

The front edge is 6cm X 4cm deep and tapering to:
The rear edge 6cm X 4.5cm deep

If this is of any help to anyone who may have one
