    69 rear bumpers

    The hole that the bolt go through to bolt on the bumper on the corner, is there a rubber grommet that should be installed to prevent over tightening?

    No grommet or other. Some have used very thin clear washers to protect the paint. Factory bolted them right to the body.

      Mark,
      There was a rubber grommet used in this area on the 73's, but not on the earlier years as mentioned above. Tough to see in the photo ( but it's there). Page from the latest 73-74 TIM&JG.

          Thanks Mike,
          Nice to know! Interesting it wasn't mentioned in the 70-72 5th Edition TIM&JG. Maybe it is in the newest 6th edition?
