Hi All
I have recently bought some new S/S bumpers for my Ruby which are very good, but when I came to fit them, the bumper iron holes are several inches away from the ones in the new S/S ones, so I measured up the old bumpers and the new which are the same length, then I measured the hole centres in the new ones compared to the old ones and found them the same also, Hmm what's going on here ?
I thought it might be the fact that the new ones need to be bent to put a bow into them to replicate the old ones, easy done, but the new bumpers and the bumper iron bolt holes are still inches out??
I offered up the old bumper to see if the holes align and they are inches out too ?
I am confused why would the old bumpers not align to the bumper iron holes again ?
Am I missing something here have a look at the picture, new and old bumpers exactly the same length, both hole centres the same but now both the old bumper and new bumper are inches out from the bumper iron holes
