just refitted my 987 spyder PU back and it seems i have a couple of bolts left over :roll: (did organise the bolts but someone knocked them over :sad:

does anyoe have a diagram of where all the bolts securing the bumper/liners go ? - struggling !

cheers

Are they actual bolts, or screws like the ones used for the wheel arch liner?
 
Apologies - it's been a long day ! Yes the screws 👍
 
No diagrams im afraid but how i work it out ..


If its a T30 with a small collar which acts as a spacer then its a pu outside screw .. basically any hole thats not a flush fit .. so the outer pu holes including the one o/s/f . n/s/f closest to the arch liner on the outer side .. up in a hole is one of these .

Any with out a collar which are normally T20 / T25 depending on the model of car then arch liners or the arch liner panel underneath .. back a bit from the pu and fixes the arch liner basically .

What i will say .. its pretty dam common for me to find them all mixed up .. it doesent really matter if you do .. each screw does its job even if in the wrong place .

Again .. even if several are missing it wont make any difference .. but i realise it would be wrong .

If nothing helps above then please photo what you have left over .. ill tell you where they normally go .
 
have you got any pictures of your leftover screws? This will make it easier for us to identify them
 
Hi. Pretty sure you will have missed the same screw hole on both sides. They can be difficult to spot. There are the ones around the rim of the arch, a couple behind the strut and also in the middle up high. Finally, if I remember correctly, there are a couple where the liner tucks under the floor behind the arch, linking with the underside covers. Pelican parts may hove a copy of the parts manual online which would help.
 
Thanks for the help guys - it was a sneaky bolt either side fixing the bumper onto the body - easily missed !
