How to adjust/remount the front bumper on a 69?

[hgger69]

I´ve just taken the front bumper off while I´m painting the grill and I saw that the bumper wasn´t in line with the front.
Is there some instruction out there in how to remount the bumper the easiest way so it´s easy to adjust it without taking it down each time??

The adjustment slots for the front bumper are located where the large mount bolts into the subframe.  You should have 2 people to adjust it and do one side at a time loosely.  Protect the edge of the grill incase bumper slips down.

I understand that but isn´t it very hard to get a vrench in there for tightening the nut??

You put a box end wrench inside the subframe and tighten bolt head with a socket on the outside.

You mean you don´t supposed to adjust it inside the bumper??

Nope - the bumper adjustment for fit is made where the long bumper brackets attach to the side of the subframe. See section 14, sheet A2 in the Assembly Manual.
