Default Any isight on repairing 53-55 bumpers?
I have a couple of bumper parts that need studs replaced. I've heard they are easy to repair and replace. Any insight as to where to get replacement studs?

thanks,

Normally they are threaded rod stock - cut to length and welded back in place.
Chrome shops do it on all the parts I send in.....
