There should be a support braket on each end that bolts through the fenders with a bumper bolt and nut and a bolt with a body gasket of foam to seal it - at least on the trunk end.

this, both ends. They center the bumpers and stop small vibrations on the ends. But can be a hair of a pain when installing.

They look like this Auto Metal Direct 106-1267-S: Front Corner Stabilizer Brackets 1967-69 Plymouth Barracuda | JEGS
Some leave them off because even the smallest bump transfrest to crinkle the fender

A light aluminum bracket might be a good solution -- one that would absorb any impact by bending. Even plastic...

I did that, was hard to get them adjusted right, due to bending when titening down, jumped on the orig. when I found them at "not rape" prices.
Didn’t know there was a market for these things. Took mine off & tossed them. I was worried about a little bumper impact transmitting to the fenders, as mentioned above. I assume the point of them is to hold the bumper aligned. If they are just thin aluminum paired to a stiff bumper, what good would they do? Other than visual I guess. I just put all the bolts back to plug the holes.
