Vette(s): '78 Silver Anniversary T Top coupe,58k orig miles. THM350 auto, 350 L48, JBM headers,Oyster White interior,.as of Nov '15 in process of painting.

The triangular metal center critter is attached by one sheet metal bolt on the rear downward flange in the center.That large sheet metal bolt heads rearward toward the CORVETTE emblem on the outside of the bumper cover.

The other two spots are affixed to the bumper proper with machine bolts inserted from below and captive from the topside just inside the triangular bracket critter...

That triangular bracket is attched before the bumper cover is installed..Note also that there's two small holes that are for the pop in plastic clips that hold the wiring harness for the taillite assemblies..Jim

Vman73 said: So I was able to sneak outside while the turkey ws cooking and take a couple shots for you. The end rubber pieces came right off, no problem. Nuts have some surface crust but the threads are in good condition.

Found another set on Fleabay last night and they were $35 plus shipping, so I can do $25 plus shipping to the great white north. PM me your address if your interested and I can get in the mail tomorrow or Sat at the latest.

I also took a shot of the center support in question, and thught this may help.

If I remember correctly, this part was bolted to the top and backside of the reinforcement tube with three self threading bolts and flat washers. See the ghosts of the flat washers inside the tube (the twin is on the other end) and the one at the bottom center.

I would take a look at you reinforcement tube, if these holes do not exist, this part was never installed on your car. If the holes exist and there is evidence of a self cutting thread, then I'd say the part was there and removed at some point.

Take a look and if you want this part I can put it in the same box with the rubber strips, $10 extra and I'll see if I can find the rubber strips that were stuck to the front angled face.

Good Luck !!

That is awesome they are exactly what i need. I looked at my bar and i know the top hole is there but can't remember what was on the bottom but i do not believe i seen any signs of anything being attached. Send me the center piece and i will add it to the bar sounds like it would be a good thing to have. How do you want me to pay you for this stuff? You can let me know what the shipping is and i can send it all at once I just happen to have some american currency left from last gathering. My address would be Cindy Teale, Box 2354 Tisdale, Saskatchewan Canada S0E 1T0
