I'm trying to figure out what is the length of the rear bumper extensions that hold the luggage rack for a 37 115 Jr.

Or if someone has them would like to purchase or trade for parts

Plus need a water pump for the same car.

Thanks

New manufacture water pumps for your car have been available from Kanters for a few months now.

Michael, my 115C with a luggage rack is in the garage. I will get out there and measure the brackets for you.

These water pumps seldom wear out. If it is leaking you might try inserting some more packing into it. Something to consider.

I'll be back with the measurements.

I'm back. Photos are probably worth 1K words, but here are some words describing the dimensions.

Outer bumper bracket to rear bolt in trunk rack bracket is 11-inches. Same measurement for inner bumper bracket to trunk rack bracket rear bolt is 13.25"

There are two bolts in the trunk rack bracket and they are 3" apart.

The measurement from where the bumper brackets fasten to the frame to the front bolt in the trunk rack bracket is 10".

Overall the outer bracket is about 22-inches and the inner bracket is about 23.25-inches. Adding a bit for the ends of the brackets past their outer holes.

There are two bolts that fasten the bumper brackets to the frame rail and they are 3" apart.

The bumper brackets go on each side of the frame rail.

One of the photos is of a primitive drawing with dimensions. There is an annotated photo with some dimensions. The other photos are overall views of the installation. Note that my car was fitted with the trunk rack sometime after it was delivered. The bumper guards were relocated to fit between the bumper brackets so the rack would clear them when lowered.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more.

Edit: The dimensions of the bumper brackets are the length of the brackets that include the curved portion. The arrows in the photo may be misleading.
