Are the factory aluminum bumper attachment brackets riveted on? The only reason I ask is I have the bumper skin and loose attachment hardware. I couldn't remember if they were riveted on or bolt/nut combo.

Again, I'm not talking about the bolts that attach the bumper hardware to the body, just the hardware (brackets) to the bumper skin.

Also, where would one go to get all the bolts, nuts and what not to attach the bumper to the front end. I'm missing a few fender nuts and don’t' have any of the bolts that attach the bumper to the front end under the hood. Ray at Malloy?

 

yes its riveted

 

Thank you.

Now, for those with 99 spec front bumpers; do you have remove the factory 93' brackets and rivet them to the 99 front for it to attach? Or does the 99' front come with all hardware intact?
