Bumper Mounting bolts, what size?

Post by Zaphod »

Hi, a very simple question.. the two bolts that hold the front bumper to the body that are behind the indicator units and done up from inside the head light recess, what size are they? (length and thread) They are missing from my car, (semi expected, it was in a semi dismantled state when I bought it)
Of all the things I have lost I think I miss my mind the most...

I think they’re M8x20mm, but could check over the weekend as mine are bagged up at the workshop.

Those will be the ones, they are right behind the indicator units, just below and inside the holes for the indicator and sidelight wiring. I think the 2BA are the ones that are to the outside that hold the outer edge of the body to the side of the bumper?
