72' Front Bumper

[Shaggy]

Hello everyone, this is my first post :lol: just a quick question, I have a 72' camper and my front bumper looks abit odd, when it wraps around the side steps are higher at the front that the back but looking at the way the bumper attaches there is no way of adjusting it, i was just wondering if someone could have a look at or do they know if there is some spacer or something to lower it on the front as i have noticed on every early bay i see a small lip then the bumper but mine is pushed right up to the lip :shock:

Thank you all

PS love all the vans on this site

No sorry, i do need to go clean her, so i can take some later if it would help, for now i have just put some spacers in so it lowers the front abit, but i just wondered how it was all attached as it bugs me its not right

you probably have slightly bent bumper irons. you may be able to straighten them out or failing that use some large washers to level it up.
put them between the bumper and bodywork
it might take a few goes but a wonky bumper is so annoying, thing is no one apart from you probably notices! :wink:

Yeah i am the only one that notices, i think people seem to thing i have gone mad :?

I have put some washers in and it looks abit better but its gonna bug me till its right...haha

If the irons are bent the best way to get 'em right is get a blacksmith to do it.
