Thanks for the help. My 6.9 bumpers are different than the usual W116 bumpers. The hardware from the common W116 bumpers doesn't fit. I'm attaching a picture of a 6.9 bumper like mine to show the difference. It appears to use the same bracket as the common W116 bumpers, but I'm guessing it uses long, coarse screws that thread into the rubber cover.
