Rocket Dog Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I have the bumperettes, I have the "Y" shaped brackets. Thing is, if you line them up on the frame holes, the bumperettes are smack where the tail lights will be. I think there is an adapter plate that mounts to the frame and the "Y" brackets to align the bumperettes further back and below the tail lights. Anybody have a pic of them? I need to make or buy some. Quote Link to comment
DatWifey Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 This post here shows where the brackets mount and should line up. Hopefully it's helpful for you. No adapters should be needed if you have the proper brackets. Quote Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Sure you have 521 brackets? Quote Link to comment
Rocket Dog Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Sure you have 521 brackets? I saw the pic in the other thread. I think my brackets are not "521 brackets". They have the "Y" shape but they protrude straight out from the frame, versus having that downward sweep to them. Probably the easiest way forward for me is to fab some kind of adapter plate to move them lower and out. Quote Link to comment
jon521 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 i bought 320 bumperettes awhile back thinking theyd fit, ran into the same problem with them running into the taillights. do you have pictures of the bumperettes? Quote Link to comment

I can get pics, they are over at the shop now. they're shaped like a "Y" or a "V" depending how your brain works...but if bolted to the frame holes (they do line up) they will place the bumperette smack where the tail light goes.
