Ed ! Sorry to have gotten in on this so late. I was busy with the show. I have what you need. Drop me a PM with your address and I'll send it out. Just happened to have on in my desk drawer !!

Tom, the picture you attached looks like what Corvette Central calls the rear bumper - are we sure that is the front bumper? Their part no 234073.

Jim, I believe Tom has shown the correct front bumper, like the one shown in my above pictures. The rear bumper is taller, narrower, and has no hole in the center.

The particular front bumper required is dependent on the size of the hole. That's why I asked about the size but I've yet to receive any response to that request.

Joe, the manual shows a 95 front bumper (which the OP is asking about), that appears identical to the one in my pictures, at least the head does. And both of those look very similar to Tom's, although of course I have no scale for Tom's. Do you mean the little shaft could be a different size?

I don't know that all 95's or 96's were the same with respect to this bumper. It's possible they were but it's also possible they were not. It is most likely they were all the type you pictured. Regardless, the size of the hole is the definitive determiner of which bumper was originally used. The two possible FRONT bumpers are configured completely different.

Joe, I'm sorry have not been able to get to my car today. Will measure it tomorrow.

Gotcha, thanks.

Absolutely 100% sure this is the front bumper I posted. 100%.

Does this help at all? I'm not good with measurements, but I can take pictures !! This is a 96 that was in the shop today. I removed his bumper for the photo. He was glad to be of service. he wondered what the heck I was doing.

Yes, this is a 5.5 mm hole. It works with either the "tall conical" bumper or the bumper you pictured. However, I believe the tall conical bumper was only used for the rear bumper. I believe the bumper you pictured was used for the forward position for all 95-96, if not earlier.

My 1992 has the "short conical" bumper at the forward position. The "short conical" bumper uses a 3 mm hole.

Joe, so your "short concial" bumper is different than Tom's bumper, since it uses a different size hole? Just curious.
