What's the trick to fitting bumpers and correctly aligning the bolts in the holes? Is there a sequence ..... do I have to hold my tounge right ??

Any tips/tricks would be appreciated.

Cheers,
BC.

I always start in the middle and work outwards. Don't tighten them until you have them all in place and lined up.

BC, it has to be in your left ear otherwise the bolts wont fit..

I had to fit both mine after the painting was done and found the back one was a little bit more fiddly than the front but did it all by myself, so it can't be that hard...

Sprinkle water on your head and turn around three times. Also good for getting the universals on and for speedo cables in the car.

Yep Jack, exiting the keyhole at Morwell Hillclimb - It'll be a sad day when the circuit succumbs to the coal dredges, but the plans for the new track look great.
Team Wild Dog are keen and raring to go, a shame there's no BMCs in the group - the Island doesn't really suit small capacity cars.

The LS has recently come back from the Painters.
Had to fiddle around to correctly line the front bumper-do it by "feel" and no looking.
Tip=Put some rag on the ends where it wraps around the body work-this will save your new paint as you line -up the bumper.

I suppose it's possible :wink:

It could also be that the rail that it sits on is slightly bent ??

Just remember...they aren't gunna break easy....so twist and bend all you need to get each captive bolt to pop into its hole :idea:
