During a teardown, I found that I was missing one of the two upper front bumper brackets on my '70 lemans. These are specific to the non-endura front bumpers. Anyone out there know where I can find one of these, including the rubber insert? NOS or used is fine, but I don't know who might have these.

Here are some images from the parts fiche. I'm looking for part # 26 and 28 in the diagram.

Thanks for the reply.

According to my parts book, they are not the same ('71 has very different front bumper and doesn't have these mounts)

OK, I'm patting myself on the back here! PY now sells the 9799960 bushings under their part number PYF28. The reason I'm patting myself on the back is that I sent Chris a NOS one I had for a pattern. The repro is perfect.

Sorry, gonna need to find a used bracket though.

Hope this helps,
Lloyd

I notice that the PY online catalog lists these as being intended for '71 to '72 cars. They look correct, perhaps we should let the PY staff know about the error? (or will they see this post?)
