Studs – Front Bumper and Front Shield

[Neil Wilson]

My research shows that the front bumper/front shield studs were A-chassis parts A-17766 (rear stud) and A-17767 (front stud). And they were the RGJS design 3 (5/8" square at inside of frame). This is for AA's starting 6/30 for the conversion to the new "B' suffixed body types (82-B, 76-B, 85-B)

These have the following measurements:

• A-17766 rear stud 2-3/4" frame contact point to shield contact point.

• A-17767 front stud 1-7/8" frame contact point to shield contact point.

Can anyone confirm this is correct?

I measured some originals with digital calipers and got 2.812 (2 13/16) and 1.905 (1 29/32) so really close.
