Success! 72/earlier e9 Front Bumper Brackets

[Paul Baker]

Hi
I believe so, or very close to 90 degrees. I have no stock left to measure at present but have attached all the photos that I have of them. They were made as an exact copy of a new undamaged original one. There should also be an Aluminium spacer block that sits between the arm and the bumper.

That makes sense. Thank you Paul.

I’ve scored a set of modified front bumper brackets for my big bumper to euro conversion. Thanks to Erik at Coupe King.
They look great. Shaped to fit the wider frame rail end and slightly extended where they bolt up to the bumper. Elongated holes, slight twist at the front end.

Hoping to begin the swap by the end of the month.
Will try to document as much as possible.

That's awesome. Are these his last ones or does CK still make em?

Don’t know for sure. They’re not advertised on the CK website. I got the impression that they have sets made for 74 coupes they restore. When I asked If they had brackets for the conversion Erik said he had a set he was willing to sell.

you got rear brackets too? Or are those easier to convert?

I bought my center console from CK that same way. They don't advertise them on their web site, but have them made up for their restorations. If you hit them when they have extras on hand, sometimes they will sell the extras.
