1973 Deluxe Bumper Diagram?

[spikhead]

Re chromed my bumper and have all the new hardware but someone else took it off. There are a lot of different washers and stuff and was hoping someone had a diagram of how it pieces together? That would be great thanks

I think the plastic washer is ment to protect the chrome. Eventually adding one extra thin one on the support side probably can't hurt either.

Yup one of those and one with these circle washer type things

I think you are doing the rear bumper? The rear has some closed cell rubber washers between the bumper brackets and the body. There is also some strip calk in there to seal it off. 

I will look but I do not think I took pics of my bumper off of my 73 I just did this spring. 

You bolt the bumper guards and bumper brackets on the bumper first. There are these odd looking washers that go between the bumper and the guard.

If you are going to do a lot of work on your car, you might want to consider getting the assembly manual set

 I have one set but the images are too poor to see where each washer and thing goes.

That is the problem with some of them, scans of copies. Sometimes the illustrations in the parts manual are better.
