Just received my re-chromed bumper and I don't want to put the old bolts, I want new ones. Does anyone know how many I need of each for a 67 Parisienne?
There are 12 in the front & 4 in the back bumper.
They are a mix of 1" and 1½" and I'm not sure if 5/16 or 3/8 assuming they are all the same width. What I am sure is that each of the side front ones are 1" and some of the other ones are 1½", the question is how many.

Being SS you can put them on the buffer and get a little more shine to them.

The original stainless steel capped bolts had a much flatter head on them than what's available now.

If you have the parts book it will identify size, thread and length for the bolts....atleast it does for 64 Beaumont.

No, I don't have it, that's why I asked. I just have the shop manual and it doesn't mention sizes.

The CT ones I picked up were more flat than others I've seen. Not as flat as orig...but close...no big round head. Top one is stock..bottom is CT.

Is it my imagination or not as shiny?
Just my crappy photography.....
I used solid stainless carriage bolts and sanded/buffed them up.
