Does anyone make the bolts that attach the main bumber brackets to the frame?? These were hex headed bolts with a square/carrriage shoulder under the hex. I guess the best description would be a hex headed cariage bolt. Mine are pretty much trash.

I got my front bumper bracket to frame bolts from npd. They were not as you describe though. They just had the large washers with teeth cut into them.

I actually found a second set of these bnolts in my stash!!! But no washers. So I guess I'll buy a reproset and use the washers from it.

I got a set from NPD that they get from AMK. While they are close they are not like the originals. They don't have the carriage square under the head. The washers are correct which I also needed. They will work ok. But the bolts are not like the originals as you can see from the pics. I wish I could find a place that sells bolts like these. I can't post pics but here are some links.

As far as i know the Camaro bolts don't have the carriage part on them. Maybe a Firebird thing due to the extra load of the heavier bumper?

Excellent point. Hadn't thought about that. But, it does sound logical. Would still like to find a place that carries hex headed carriage bolts like these.
