Default 73 Tru flex bumper install question

Is the original metal retainer at the bottom of the urethane bumper that is held on with four rivets needed when installing the tru flex fiberglass bumper?

The True Flex I installed came with a bag of retainers that replaced the original set up.

They are a PAIN to install, but after you have put it on and pulled it off a dozen times during the fitting process, your fingers get use to the pain.

Probably. Does your new bumper cover have the retainer already installed? Do the instuctions with the truflex specifically say you do not need it?

No instructions with bumper. New bumper does not have anything attached.
