Front and rear bumper mounting applications include models up to 1974. From 1975, the bumper assemblies include the 914-1,8V/2,0 application; retain the position-specific qualifications above when selecting the part.

Required Quantity
Two buffers are required for each applicable front or rear bumper assembly.

What Is This Part?
The bumper mounting buffer sits within the connection between the bumper and vehicle body. This type of 914 mounting component is also commonly called a bumper spacer or dog bone. Its role is to separate the bumper from the body and help maintain the intended gap, rather than relying on the fixing alone to establish the spacing. Its condition therefore matters when a bumper is removed and refitted during body repairs or restoration. 

What Does This Part Do?

• Maintains separation: Provides a buffer between the bumper and body at the mounting connection.
• Supports bumper spacing: Helps establish the gap when the bumper is secured.
• Forms part of the mounting assembly: Works with the bumper supports and associated fixings rather than replacing them. 

Why Replace This Part?

Replacement may be appropriate if inspection finds that the existing buffer is split, damaged, permanently distorted or missing. A buffer that no longer sits correctly can affect how the mounting connection seats, so its condition should be assessed before tightening the bumper fixings.

Inspect the surrounding mounting assembly at the same time. Poor bumper alignment or movement can also involve damaged brackets, loose fixings or deterioration around the body mounting points; replacing the buffer alone will not correct those faults.

When to Replace This Part?

• Visible damage: Replace a buffer with splits, missing sections or damage around its fixing openings.
• Distortion: Check for permanent flattening or an uneven shape that prevents proper seating.
• Missing component: Check that the required buffers are present before refitting the bumper.
• Poor seating: Investigate a buffer that will not sit properly against the adjoining mounting surfaces.
• During bumper removal: Inspect the buffers and surrounding hardware before deciding which components can be reused.

Where Is This Part Fitted?
Location: At the front or rear bumper mounting connection, between the bumper assembly and the vehicle body, according to the application.
