Guest Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Do I need special bumpers to mount bumper guards on them? I would like to put them on, but how do they mount? And I really dont want to drill holes. ------------------ 1971 Monte Carlo, 350, th350, black, black top, light sandal wood interior 1971 Monte Carlo, 350, th350, blue, blue interior ACE VENTURA 1987 Olds Cutlass Supreme, 350 Rocket, Th350, gray/gray 1967 Pontiac Catalina, 400, Th400, cameo ivory white, red interior 1994 Chevy Beretta Z26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 Well sorry to say this, but you must drill holes unless you can find a used bumper that already has them drilled. ------------------ 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo My Monte Carlo Page Pete@firstgenmc.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 For the original (smaller) bumper guards, you will need to drill holes. However, GM also made aftermarket (larger) bumper guards, which attach to the existing bumper with brackets, no holes needed: Aftermarket Guards See a pic of them installed here: Installed Aftermarket Guards ------------------ 71 Monte 454 HO 5- Speed "FULMNTE" 86 Monte LS "The Gray Mouse" FOR SALE! 01 Camaro V6 Andreas' Monte Carlo Site Member NMCOA, FGMCC (Event Coordinator) ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ "It ain't a car if it's not a Monte" [This message has been edited by Andreas (edited 11-06-2002).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Peters Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Rod, If you decide to drill the holes, I have a copy of a template I could mail to you which would give the exact location to drill the holes. I only have a template for the rear. Rob ------------------ Go Car or Show Car, it doesn't matter, you are welcome here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dans '70 Z20 Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Rob, Could you send me a copy of that template. I will be attempting the same in the Spring. Template would really come in handy. You got mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 8, 2002 Share Posted November 8, 2002 I replaced the rear bumper on my 71 with a bumper that didn't have the holes. I drilled the new bumper and it came out great but I had the benefit of measuring the old bumper for hole location. After I marked my hole locations with a marker I used a hole punch to create a dimple so my bit wouldn't crawl. I drilled a starter hole with a smaller bit before I drilled the full size bolt hole. The smaller bit goes thru easier and holds your center mark better. Measure twice cut once. In this case, measure 3 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
