Manta bumper brackets

Mike Preble · 06-21-2007

I am trying to install a rear bumper on my '72 Manta. When I bought the car it was in boxes so I wasn't the one who tore the car apart. Needless to say I don't have the two inner bumper brackets for the rear bumper. I have the outer ones.

According to my parts catalog they are different. The ones I own have parallel mating surfaces. It appears that with the ones I am missing, the surface that mounts to the body is ~30degrees different from the surface that mates to the bumper. I hope I am making sense.

If anyone if familiar with Mantas and might be able to help me PM me. I also need the rubber pads that fit against the body.

I will post to the "wanted" section, also, to keep the mods happy.

Thanks, Mike

I am bumping this back up to see if there are any stateside people able to help me. If not, I will go the offered route.

Thanks, Mike

Look at my members album at the cars we're parting out. Your 72 has the small bumpers? I'll look around today and see what I can come up with.
