[W126 Coupe] bumper / fog light brackets

[Dick Spellman]

Hi Mike:

I used a thin layer of construction adhesive applied with a chaulk gun 
followed by the hidden application of several aluminum pop rivets.  Both 
surfaces were scuffed up with 180 grit where the adhesive was applied.  
I placed rivet plate washers on both sides of the work where it was not 
visible and a washer on the backside where I had to putty the rivet face 
before painting.  If you are so inclined add the ultrasonic presence 
detectors to avoid the occasional contact with curbs etc.  I've repaired 
the lower edge of the nose twice due to my screw-ups the first few times 
I drove the SEC lowered and with body kit installed.  I've used 
MarineTex (think that's right) followed by the air brush.  Knock on 
wood; I've had no close encounters in over a year.  Still the ultrasonic 
set-up would be a plus IMHO.
