I bought 2 very nice front bumpers from Dropnosky to fix the damage on my 83 300D T. Pulled the bumper and the fenders (surprised how easy the job was) and discovered these 2 rusted pieces behind the bumper rubber corners as well as a broken aluminum "spacer".

Are these parts available and what are the part numbers? Anyone have a good used set? I need both sides.

Just bought new ones for my euro front bumper and they were less than I expected. They are pretty thin metal and almost seemed doomed to rust after a length of time. You can also buy the hardware kit for the rubber mounting which includes that spacer. I probably have a spare spacer if you want a used one.

I had those rust out on my 85. A good guy in California took a pair off a parts car and sent them to me. I took the rear ones off too and painted all 4 with POR-15. Should be good for life of car! Maybe a wrecker out there might ave them?

If you gave EPC access, they are in Section 88 - Atachment sheet metal. XXXX list them. Maybe Classic Center has same price if you get a discount?

I think there are a couple of those in a yard near here. Let me know I can go run out and take a look see if they are in better shape. Just let me know.

If you need the euro one piece sedan / wagon front parts I can help you out - but yours look like they've been to McDonalds a few too many times!
