Default Front bumper install help

I am trying to install the front bumper and grill. The assembly manual has great pictures on how things connect, but know actual information on bolt specs. I have a bucket of hardware, but no idea what bolts to use. Is there a place I can get that information?

thanks,
BH

Maybe dump all those bolts out on a big piece of cardboard, sort them by size and type/age/looks. Then post pictures, and guys here can probably tell you what most go for. I see door lock hold-down clips, striker bolts, hose clamps, rocker arms and other things there. Then once forum members give you ideas/tips where they go (incl bumper bolts), you can start to put the various pieces/bolts in small zip lock bags with a tag on them. Obviously brand new looking bolts probably ones won't be the old bumper bolts.

You might also try looking at pictures at retailer's websites (Corvette Central, Ecklers, etc) which sell new bumper bolts to match up what you have. Do you have other brackets not in your bucket?
