Which bumperette support is correct? ('62)

[Rob Edwards]

Sigh. I ordered a set of these a while back and installed them on the car today. Didn't realize the issue until I'd already installed them. One is 22" long, and one is 23" long. Can anyone with a '61 or a '62 please measure theirs and let me know which length is correct so I can send one back and get the right length? Thanks!

The short one. The longer one is the clear the "Teeth" used on the '58-60 cars.

I was doing this today too.

You want the short one.

I don't know if you can get the bumperettes on after you install the mounts on the car. Don't believe you can get at the 2 bolts that mount the bumpers to these supports. In any case, it's easier to assemble the thing completely on a bench, and then install it on the car as an assembly.

On my '58, I mounted the brackets first and then mounted the bumperettes. Had no problems doing it that way.
