Just a quicky, if you don't mind.

What are the bolts that hold the front bumper brackets to the body?

I need slightly longer ones. My bolts had no spacers and were holding the brackets against the body. Now I've made spacers they are too short.

The ones I took out are M12. surely that's not right?

1/2" UNF don't fit the thread is far to fine.

Thanks

Front or rear bumper?

It's been a while since i did mine but I only remember spacers on the front and even then the brackets still sit very close to the bodywork.

I'll have to check the length for you if I can get in there and measure them!

For future reference, yes they are unf: The M12 had damaged the unf thread.
