Repairing the Bumper Mounting Rib

Model: Ford Mustang MK 4 - Years 1994-2004
Part: Body

If one of the bumper mounting ribs detaches from the wing during removal, you can fix it by gluing the rib back in place using a specific procedure that requires a special adhesive. Start by cleaning and degreasing the edges to be glued. Sand with coarse sandpaper and remove any debris with a craft knife. Apply a reinforcing metal mesh, securing it to both edges with a soldering iron. Place aluminium tape underneath and melt the special adhesive using the soldering iron. Once the joint has cooled, remove the tape and shape it with sandpaper.

This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
