66 lemans repop bumpers
I purchased a front and rear bumper from Tamraz last week. The rear bumper looked good and fit well. I went to put my brackets on the front bumper and the holes for the drivers side are 1 inch to far apart, I measured the the 2 braces and there is a 1 inch difference in space between the holes. Is this difference normal.

The braces are 2 part so to be clear are the discrepancies with the main frame rail brace bolts or between the main and outer/side support brace. The braces should be stamped/punched the same left and right/top to bottom spacing.

It would be the 2 vertical bolts. The driver side brace holes measures 1 inch shorter than the passenger side. If some one can measure the distance between the centers of the bolts on the passenger and drivers side on their bumpers. I want to make sure my braces are correct before I call Tamraz. I would hate to drill a hole in my new bumper to make my brace fit

As indicated there is NO variance in bolt hole spacing left bracket Vs right.
If yours are that far off then something clearly is amiss. The bumper & brackets on my '66 are oem. I laid out approx center lines off car to give you an idea of hole spacing (+- 1/8") and transposed my measurements onto this stock bumper image, as you can see they are equal. I have 7.75" top to bottom & 37.75" left to right. This would apply to '67 as well. Maybe one of the brackets is slightly bent? Hope it helps.

The 2 brackets with the vertical bolt holes should be mirror images of each other and mine are different from each other. My old bumper is pretty bent up but I think someone bent in the bumper to make the holes line up on the drivers side. Unfortunately the parts houses on sell both sides and not individual sides. I will need to find some one that will sell me the driver side bracket. Thanks for the help
