The guards just bolted on...
I had to drill new holes to mount the bumper onto the car
I also used the 1302S bumper brackets...
LEE
I do have a photo of the brackets bolted to the body
I'll see if I can find it.... Lee

Hi
What colour are your bumper brackets Lee?
Actually all rear bug guards are interchangeable.

awww now i feel special
would u trust someone whose native american name is drunk crawling?? 
i only know cos 15 years of owning several S and Lbugs and swapping bits around proved it fits
same with the front and rear bumpers too
with the exception of the late75-76 front bumper all others are the same
they just have 2 lots of mounting holes one for supers and other for standards
the front bumper on my Lbug at the moment is the original one off my red 75 standard

Joel thats way to many years driving on Springs LOL

i spend enough time driving on tractor front ends at work
i'll stick to my 'pherso front ends, same as most of the manufactures have been doing for the last 20-30 years
my Lbug still outhandled my black 1500 bug despite only having less than half the money spent on the front end
colonel mustard - March 29th, 2009 at 09:57 AM
Love the supers.
And No, I probably wouldnt trust anyone with the name drunk crawling.
