Question for 75 & 76 bug owners

Hi

Can someone with a 75 or 76 bug tell me if your car has these rubber wedges on both the front and back bumper brackets? Item #10 in the picture.

Hi

The wedges sit on top of the late U shaped bumper brackets and wedge up under the bumper. Thanks for the replies, I was reading an online catalogue and it said that they were for the rear only, this struck me as strange as I fitted them on my old bug both front and back OK, I used the late U shaped bumper brackets on it. They stop the bumpers getting that odd smile that occurs whith out of line bumpers often get.
