EMPI Chrome Bumper Bolts — Long, Set of 4 (OE 113 707 191B) | VW Beetle thru 1967 (98-1013-0)

EMPI Chrome Bumper Bolts — Long, Set of 4 (98-1013-0)

You just spent good money on bright blades, and the old bolts are rusted, the heads are pitted, or the square shoulders are rounded so they spin when you try to tighten the nut. EMPI 98-1013-0 is a set of four long chrome carriage-style bumper bolts for pre-1968 Beetle blade bumpers. The chrome domed heads show on the bumper face, so they finish the job instead of letting it down.

Key Features & Benefits

• Long pre-1968 style: the OE 113 707 191B long bolt for Beetle blade bumpers through 1967.
• Chrome domed heads: they match new chrome blades, and the head is the only part you see.
• Carriage-style shoulder: it locks into the square hole in the blade, so the bolt doesn't spin while you tighten the nut.
• Set of 4: enough for one bumper (two per bracket).
• Genuine EMPI: sold by an authorized EMPI dealer.

Fitment

These bolts fit the VW Type 1 Beetle blade bumpers through the 1967 model year, front or rear.

• CONFIRMED (EMPI): VW Type 1 Beetle through 1967. EMPI describes it as "Long, thru 67", and EMPI's 100-piece version of the same bolt (98-1013-7) lists VW Type 1 12/1947–07/1967. Dealers list 1952–1967.
• NOT CONFIRMED: 1968-and-later Beetles and all Karmann Ghias (these use the short bolt, OE 113 707 191C / EMPI 98-1014-0). Buses, Type 3s, and aftermarket or Euro bumpers with different blade thickness.

Installation Notes

• Soak the old nuts with penetrant a day ahead. Rusted bumper nuts usually have to be cut or split off. Don't twist the bracket.
• Seat the square shoulder fully in the blade before you snug the nut, and hold the head with a rag so you don't mar the chrome.
• Use 8mm nylock nuts and washers, and snug them evenly. Over-tightening dimples the chrome blade around the head.
• A dab of anti-seize on the threads makes the next removal easy.
