Replacement rear cross-member(bumper) from kaiserwillys

Hope everyone can open this link,,,,, I'm a bit computer illiterate.
Question - Does this look right. It's a replacement rear cross-member(bumper) from kaiserwillys.com. It's off-set to the driver's side by 3 inches. Just wanted everyone's opinion before I call them and ask.
Thanks guys,,,,

Yep, that's the way they are.

 

timgr, thanks for the reply. I can always count on good info here. Just curious,,,,, why are they so off-set?

 

I think it is because that is where the license plate originally went. You can line the plate up under the tail light which has a clear window on the bottom for a license plate light.

 

Does it give a little extra room for the exhaust tailpipe out the right rear?

 

Yes, it's shorter on the right side for the tailpipe

 

Looks just right. I got the same bumper from KaiserWillys. Some of the holes did not line up so I had to drill them out. It took some rubber mallet work to get it on but it looks good.

 

interesting, I always assumed it was just for the license plate because on the model years with the rear fuel tank the exhaust comes out on the left anyway. I think the engineers for kaiser got lazy when AMC bought them out. I learn something new everyday on this forum.

 

Hard to say if it was lazy or just expedient. I expect the great redesign in 1976 was anticipated for many years, and they may have changed just enough for 1972 to get the engines in and provide the power options.
