V Bar installation help.

I recently found a good V—Bar on eBay to mount on the front bumper guards of my 57 convertible. The clips to hold the attaching bolts are there inside top of the V Bar and the seller said it mounts with bolts from those clips down through holes in the top of the bumper guards. I'm looking for help on what type and size of bolt and nut (washers too?), as well as size and location of hole in the bumper guards. Any advice, links, templates, etc is appreciated.

I added the Vee Bar to my 1957 Skyliner a couple of years ago.  I just looked at what my friend did that had one also.  I am sure that a template came with the part when it was bought new, and there may be someone who has one. I will go out to my storage and see if I can get you some measurements on the installation.

Back in the old days, those V-Bars certainly did look nice on the front of the 57 Fords.
Just hope that you can come up with what you need to get yours installed
