The Front Bumper Bracket Hardware Kit is an OE-style fastener set designed for 1970–1972 Chevrolet Chevelle, Malibu, El Camino, and GMC Sprint models. This 12-piece kit supplies the correct factory-style hardware required to properly secure the front bumper brackets, restoring correct bumper positioning and alignment on GM A-Body vehicles. It is an important detail component for classic muscle car restoration parts projects where accuracy and correct fastener appearance matter.
During restoration or front-end repairs, original bumper hardware is frequently missing, corroded, or replaced with incorrect fasteners. Using mismatched hardware can result in improper bumper alignment, uneven gaps, or an unfinished appearance. This kit addresses those issues by providing OE-style fasteners that match original factory specifications for size, thread, and application.
Manufactured as an OE-style reproduction, this hardware kit is intended for use with original-style front bumper brackets and factory mounting locations used on 1970–1972 A-Body vehicles. Correct hardware helps maintain proper alignment between the bumper, grille, valance, and fenders—preserving the front-end geometry Chevrolet and GMC engineered for these models.
This kit includes 12 pieces, offering coverage for the required front bumper bracket mounting points on applicable vehicles. It is well-suited for full restorations, bumper replacement projects, or detail-correct rebuilds where original-style hardware is expected and visible.
Offered as X-Parts by Auto Metal Direct, this hardware kit is a third-party OE-style replacement selected to meet AMD’s standards for fit and application accuracy.

Auto Metal Direct is a team of true car guys with years of experience in sheet metal reproduction, car restoration and paint/body work. We believe that quality is not subjective! Our mission is to provide the best customer experience for the Ford, Mopar and GM classic car markets - both in products and in service.
Our panels are made from proper gauge steel and include all correct-as-original clips, tabs, flanges, bends and seams. Each time a prototype body panel comes off of a new tooling, we test fit it on a car. The marked up prototype is then used to change and improve the tools, and a new prototype is produced. This procedure might be repeated multiple times but, once the part is finally approved, you can be assured of a quality part.
