I have an 85 Mustang GT and the rear bumper cover upper brace has rusted away making the space below the tail lights pretty big. I have looked around but cannot find a replacement or reproduction part. Anyone know where I can buy one or am I just stuck with trying to find a good one? That pretty much looks impossible to do.
Thanks

Place a wanted add on Craig's List, keep an eye on Ebay, Go to multiple Mustang forums & place want to buy adds.... You will get what you want, if you want it bad enough IMHO....

Thanks Mike but no. It is the thinner metal support that runs just under the top of the rear cover and bolts into the rear body panel. That part you referenced is the actual bumper. Thanks for looking for me though!
I am guessing no one knows of a replacement judging by the responses! Thanks guys!

Hi my rear upper mount rotted away and left my bumper sagging under the tail lights. Could not find bracket but luckily found a new improved part on eBay.
