Title: rear bumper mounts
Post by: beetletom on August 24, 2010, 19:29:12 pm
hi, has anyone on here replaced the rear bumper mounts on a 66 beetle?

if so, what panel did you use?

i don't want to use the usual universal mount (looks like a late one)

does anyone sell the original style mount?

thanks tom.

maybe something is out of alignment with your rear end!

i've never heard any complaints about hookys panels
