Left front bumper bracket fabrication?

[gene3x]

I am replacing a Marga Hills front bumper and going back to stock and cannot seem to find a left front bumper bracket anywhere. This is the L bracket that holds the bumper in place. I ordered one on ebay and one in several other places but all orders get canceled due to shipping from Japan because of COVID 19 concerns...

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. Part number I am looking for is [FONT=&quot]71156-SL0-000 [/FONT]

Amayama offers as well

I have one not sure which side it is for, as there are no marking on the part and I don't have the original bag.

PM me for Pictures.

I am not sure which Austrian parts store you are referring to but I have checked Amayama and yes they do have it but limited on shipping from Japan as I understand it. It will take months to get here.

Bram, thanks. PMed you

I never got a response from the Austrian Type Racing website. Other suggestions? It s killing me that my car just sits without a front bumper....

Like previously suggested, order from Amayama:
https://www.amayama.com/en/part/honda/71156sl0000 you can use FedEx for shipping and it should arrive fairly soon.

Try ordering from Tim:

Call your local dealership and see if there are any currently in stock in the US Supply Chain

Thanks, I have already called and ordered through dealerships and websites who say they are on permanent back order which they say just means they are discontinued. I ordered through ebay and they waited a month to tell me it could not be shipped. I am a month into another fleabay purchase with no response.

Yeah the left side is the tough one to find. I have ordered from several places and will let you know if I get more than I need.

Amayama is still using EMS to ship to Canada; however, it has slowed a lot. They forecast that the bumper bracket would not arrive until mid August at the earliest. The EMS shipping option with Amayama is pretty low cost, about $25 Cdn. If you really need the part you can arrange with a freight forwarding service who can take delivery of the part in Canada and then forward it to you; but, you pay for that service. The other option is that you can usually submit a request to Amayama for a special quote for shipping using DHL direct to you. Delivery is much faster; but, comes with a much much bigger price. Freight forwarding option - slowish and expensive. DHL - fast and really expensive. How much are you willing to pay?

Other than that, start searching for a salvage NSX that is being parted out. One that wasn't in a front end accident. They are not common; but, they are out there.
