Adorning the extreme ends of the Datsun 1200 are chrome bumpers. Although the front bumper is shared by all models, the rear bumper differs between Coupe, Sedan, and Van/Wagon. The front bumpers have bolt holes for USA and Japan license plates (two sets of holes).

Contents

Front

The front bumper of a 1200 is a fairly straight chrome bar and has two small notches on the bottom for the front turn-signal lights:

The front bumper is in three pieces, although it is sold assembled as one piece.

  • Two long front sections (left and right) that curve and the end to wrap around the side just a little
  • a shallow degree binding piece (the front bumper is a slight V)

The B140 Bakkie has a larger flat bumper, painted black, with lights in the face.

Rear

Rear bumpers are distinguished by the license plate lighting provision.

Also see: Rear License Plate Lamp

  • Sedan rear bumper has a small light in the center facing up to illuminate the license plate

  • Coupe bumper has a notch for the license plate:

  • Wagon is smooth with no notch and no lights:

The regular rear bumper is in three pieces:

  • Long center section that varies between Sedan, Coupe and Wagon
  • Two end caps, left and right, that wrap around the side a little bit

It is sold as three pieces.

Rear Bumper Stay

Bumper + stay bolts straight to the rear panel... so a little bump may dent the body.

1973 USA Bumpers

For 1973, USA models got large bumper pads to meet FMVSS No. 215. They also used redesigned bumper-to-body brackets. The chrome parts look similar but are different.

South Africa

1200s in South Africa, at least from 1973, were factory-fitted with Datsun 510 bumpers. These have a bit longer overbend, but are the same width.

Overriders Removed

Some models may have come without front overriders, but I think all models had rear overriders.

OPTION Overriders

Available from Datsun USA dealers were steel tubular overriders from ARMCO:
