Hi guys
Im putting together my capri but I dont seem to have any side brackets for the front bumper. Can someone do me a massive favour and post some pics of what the brackets look like? So I can fabricate my own. Or even better if someone has some to sell for a reasonable price?? Cheers

The Mk.1 Capri doesn't use front bumper side brackets. It uses spacer tubes and long coach bolts with a chrome end or a zinc-plated one would do. Not sure of the length but you can work that out!

All they have on the end mounts is a spacer tube that the bolt goes through. Tube length has to be pretty close to the distance between the inside of the bumper and the panel to avoid damage when tightening.

I've measured the spare spacer tubes that I have and they are 50mms or 2ins long. The coach bolt therefore needs to be around 65+mms long!
