1968-1973 Beetle Front Bumper Mounting Brackets to fit Early Blade Bumpers
Convert your late Beetle to early Euro blade bumpers with front mounting brackets designed for proper fit and resto-custom styling.
These Volkswagen Beetle front bumper conversion brackets are designed for 1968-1973 Standard Beetles and allow installation of early-style Euro blade bumpers on later cars. Engineered specifically for this conversion, the brackets bolt to the stock mounting locations and taper to early-style dimensions as they exit through the fenders.
Finished in satin black powder coat, these brackets provide a clean resto-custom appearance while maintaining strength and durability. Slotted mounting holes help accommodate most manufacturers’ blade bumpers, and the design also allows installation of early-style front fenders at the same time.
These brackets are intended for blade bumpers only and are not designed to support over-rider bars or billet bumpers.
