Do they use unitque bumper mounts or do they use the regular mounts?

The mount from the frame to the bumper is the same on 70 71 cars I don't know about the 72 and up.

What year did they increase the gap between the fender and the bumper for crash perfection the 5mph deal?

So, basically, all 1970 Challenger bumper mounts are the same, if I'm reading this right?

Hi David, they use the core of a chrome bumper as the base to make the elastomeric bumpers for Challengers buddy :wave:

Merci, mes amis. I had a line on a pair that I thought I might get, but I think that's fallen through now. C'est la vie  :bigsmile:
