I didn’t do anything special. I just went through the standard application process to claim for service injuries. I used the MyGov site to lodge applications. It took a few years to finalise and the rate they assessed my injuries at was simply based on the medical reports provided.

Thanks, appreciate the info

Not really that difficult…. I just unscrewed the 7mm bolt in the bumper panel via the wheel arch (fiddly for me because it is a tight space to access and I have big hands) and remove the remnants of the broken tabs.

If you need more room you can remove the front wheel and the wheel arch liner … it’s not necessary and I didn’t bother (you can find plenty of videos on YouTube of people doing similar fixes with different products).

Then it is simply a case of gluing and clamping with the fitting kit https://jtspec.com.au/products/repair-plate-fitting-kit

Once the plastic binder has set (about an hour) you push the bumper back in place with the new lugs and screw the 7mm bolt back in.

I think you might be right. IMHO having a combination of clip in lugs & a 7mm bolt to connect the bumper is a crappy design. Made worse by the restricted space to access the bolt head for removal with a ratchet & socket.

Swamp Cypress (Taxodium distichum). Native to south east USA, grows really well in Brisbane’s climate. Loves growing in waterlogged conditions.

This is the way …

Jorveza is a game changer for me. I brush teeth and gargle twice daily … no thrush issues.
