Product Details

The EMPI 15-2045-0 front bumper conversion brackets provide a practical solution for mounting early Type 1 (1954-1967) blade-style bumpers onto 1968-1973 Volkswagen Standard Beetle models. These precision-engineered brackets enable enthusiasts to achieve the classic early-Beetle aesthetic on later model vehicles while maintaining proper mounting integrity.

Key Features:

  • Designed to retrofit early blade bumpers onto 1968-1973 VW Standard Beetles
  • Maintains stock base dimensions where brackets mount to the body
  • Tapers down to early-style dimensions as they exit through the fender
  • Durable satin black powder coat finish for corrosion resistance and clean appearance
  • Sold as a pair (left and right brackets included)
  • Slotted mounting holes accommodate most manufacturer bumper variations

Important Compatibility Notes:

  • Compatible with VW Type 1 Standard Beetle models 1968-1973 only
  • Does NOT fit Super Beetle models
  • Recommended for use with blade bumpers only
  • Does not provide support for over-rider bars
  • Brackets do not completely fill the fender bracket hole opening

These conversion brackets bolt directly to the stock mounting location and exit through the original fender bracket opening. The tapered design allows for installation of early-style fenders simultaneously if desired, making them ideal for resto-custom upgrades and period-correct builds. Mounting hardware sold separately.

great price

Had access to a hard to find part and delivered it quickly.

It was a good experience buying truck parts for my truck & I will definitely buy from them again & they got good deals on parts also

I searched for a specific tire elsewhere, but other places were either out or the price was much higher than Autoplicity. I ordered from here and received it within a week. It is exactly what I needed and arrived in a timely manner. I will shop here again.

easy way to order and great price!

Easy and quick. Great price, too!

nEED ASAP

Good price, the item was drop-shipped from the manufacture. I ordered it on a Friday and I got an e-mail on tuesday saying it was shipped.

I ordered a hitch off of this site for Christmas, I have never heard of it nor did I know how they were, but they are great! Got my package in I'd say 4 days, very fast and it was exactly what I wanted! Only down fall was they charged me 3 times and I was short 150$ for a few days. I got my money back and I would definitely order again.

Thanks full

Fast shipping, exactly what I was looking for, at the best price I could find! Thanks!!

Great
