C3 1968-1972 Corvette Front Bumper Guard To Crossmember Extension Bracket

For the C3 Chevrolet Corvette, the Lef-Hand Front Bumper Guard to Crossmember Extension Bracket (196-1972) is the precise replacement you need to restore authentic fitment and solid, reliable mounting. This LH bracket is designed to reconnect the bumper guard to the crossmember extension, preserving the correct fron-end geometry critical to both appearance and performance.

• Exact lef-side fit for 1968–1972 C3 Corvette models, ensuring compatibility with OE-style bumper components.
• Direc-fit alignment between the bumper guard and crossmember extension, helping maintain uniform gaps and a clean boulevar-rolling look.
• Restore original geometry so the bumper sits true, minimizes wobble, and distributes impact forces as designed.
• Replacement for wear or damage ideal after corrosion, bending, or collision impact that compromised the LH mounting point.
• Reliable installation for restoration projects that streamlines reassembly during bodywork, painting, or component replacement.

Why this bracket matters in your build or restoration: the front bumper system on a C3 isn’t just cosmetic—its a foundational element that sets the alignment of the entire front end. A worn or missing LH extension bracket can throw off panel gaps, misalign the bumper, and place undue stress on adjacent parts. This part is purpos-built to align with the Corvette’s mounting points, helping you achieve a factor-accurate, lon-lasting result.
