TR7 TR8 Front Bumper Mounting Brackets (Fixes Bumper Droop)
TWS Motors
£78.75
These are new replacement bumper mounting brackets for the TR7 and TR8 convertibles. These brackets will eliminate the droop of the front bumper caused by rotten rubber on the original 30+ year old mounting brackets. The original part numbers were XKC3791 & XKC3792.
These new mounting brackets are machined from black marine grade UHMW polyethylene(the bracket is white in one of the photos for clarity) which will never corrode or rot. They also weigh less than a pound for the pair which reduces the weight of the bumper assembly by 2.2 pounds or 1 kilo. All hardware required for mounting is included along with instructions. It is easy to replace these mounting brackets but the bumper assembly is very heavy.
Sold as a pair.

TR7 TR8 Front Bumper Mounting Brackets
They did exactly what it said on the tin - bumper droop on my dhc is now a thing of the past!

Great mounts
The bumper sag on my TR7 was driving me nuts. These new mounts make it look much better. No rubber like the originals so you don't have to worry about issues in the future. Easy install but make sure you have help as stated in the manual. The bumper is heavier than you would think.

TR8 Bumper brackets
Easy to install. Much lighter than the original brackets (every bit helps with those for factory bumpers). Definitely decreases sag. As mentioned elsewhere have assistance ready when removing and reinstalling the bumper.

Really helps the droop!
Such a great product and really helps the droop in my ‘80 DHC TR7. Very easy to install and comes with great instructions and all the hardware. I also would check out the excellent video here as well as that was a big help. Also, as stated in other reviews the bumper is not only very heavy but extremely awkward when you get it off so watch out. Be very careful…. I also removed those amazingly heavy side weights on my bumper while I was in there. Not only does my car look better but is 20+ pounds lighter! Thanks TWS for making these

Awesome brackets!
Great product! Comes with nice instructions and all the necessary bolts washers etc. I also watched the video here which was very helpful. While I was at it I removed the ridiculously heavy weights from the sides of the bumper. Not only is the droop gone but I saved a whole bunch of weight! Also, be wary or have a friend help lift off the bumper as it’s heavy but also extremely awkward when it does come off. It was a breeze to put back on after the bumper lost all that weight though. Thanks TWS and so thankful you are here with all the right stuff for our TR7-TR8’s!

If there is going to be a problem with these brackets, it will probably be a rusted bolt on the car. I had my bumper off and back on in about an hour, did it by myself. Yes, it is heavy and awkward as it states in the instructions, but the floor jack helped with that. Perfect fit, pulled the bumper back in line! Nice stuff, Woody! Thanks!

Excellant design and workmen ship. Will install it later this August. Sure it will correct bumper droop though.
