Re: 1934 Packard 1101 bumper help

Typ Bumper End Caps that came out of the Factory were:

Eight
1,3/4 dia

Super
2,3/4

Twelve option on Eight and Super
4,0

As stated already the ends had spun on or crimped on brass caps over steel caps that were threaded and took a stud between the top and bottom. The bottom had a hex to accept an Allen Wrench. If ur lucky the female hex is still good and will work with a wrench but ive found many rusted and thus nogo. This means destroying the cap and getting a vise-grip on the steel cap and typ heat.

Years back someone was making new chrome caps. Dont know if anyone is doing it now. If not your looking at machining up some.https://www.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/1933-1936PartsList.pdf
