Front Bumper Spring Bar

[silloyd]

Need a little help please.

I've removed the front bumber (in the process of an engine and gearbox swap) and found that it has no spring bar (Item 1 in the diagram below) - it was just mounted with the spring - over rider supports (item 14).

Is this normal for a 1971 Traveller and if not then is it a major issue?

Not a huge issue but does add some strength to the thin metal valence and chrome strip esp. in an accident.

They are not expensive (but postage may be)

Thanks firedrake, I'll see if I can find one locally.
