I would try and see if the round piece you have "fits" the hole in the sheet
metal and if it does than that might be the right part. I don't recall mine
being very "thin walled" and if I remember they looked cast aluminum. What
I don't know is if there were any original grommets in the two holes, seems
to me like a good place for them though.

Just called Rick at SS. He says there IS a spacer where you describe but
is steel, 1/2" long with a narrow gauge wall. Too think and it will
interfere with the sheetmetal (?) So the slug that I'm trying to describe is
not
that distancing piece.....
He thinks the slug goes on the carriage bolt between the overrider and the
bumper. He's not sure and I don't think so.

Thanks for answering.
OK, rear bumper. Where? I'd bet in-between the "back bar" and the
chassis mount? That would space it off the 3/4" inch that it is long? Or is
it
between the bumper and the back bar?
Please confirm
Best,
Jim A

That spacer is for the rear bumper bolts to prevent you from crushing
the metalwork around the frame mount.

Hello,
Last night, Tod Brown and went over the fixing bolts for the bumpers.
A
couple of issues/questions arose.
1) the bumper to chassis fixing bolts for the rear are listed as 1/2"
X 1
3/4 UNF. For the front it lists a
screw (?) of 1/2" X 1" UNF. Bolt for one, and screw for another? Dim
memory tells me the difference between a screw and a bolt is the a
screw is
threaded up to the head, and a bolt has an unthreaded section between
the
threads and the head. Also, how come the difference in length here?
2) As I'm trying to assemble a complete set of front and rear bumpers
with
everything, ready to bolt on when I take off the old. There is an odd
part
that must have some connection with the bumper system as I found it in
that box in the basement. It is a slug of aluminum (?) cylindrical
(very
slightly barrel shaped) 1/2" tall, 1" in diameter with about a 1/2"
hole drilled
out of the center. Is this a bumper system part? Where does it go?
Seems like a spacer.
Best to all,
