Support Brackets / Retainers / Braces
By OE Match
- Porsche 356B 1959-63
- Porsche 356C 1963-65
This 4-piece front bumper bracket set precisely replicates the factory inner/outer mounting arms that secure the front bumper to the chassis horns on Porsche 356 B/C models. Press-formed from the correct-thickness steel with OE-style bends and slotted mounting holes for alignment, each bracket restores proper bumper position, panel gap, and contour to the front fenders. A corrosion-resistant finish helps resist rust and road grime for long service life.
Fits:
Porsche 356B 1960 - 1963
Porsche 356C 1964 - 1965
Diagram ref no 3 and 4
Includes:
2 × 64450513105 – Front bumper outer brackets (LH/RH)
2 × 64450513305 – Front bumper inner brackets (LH/RH)
Why to replace:
Front bumper brackets often suffer from rust, deformation, or impact damage over time. Corroded or bent brackets can cause misalignment, sagging corners, or uneven body gaps, affecting both appearance and structural support. Replacing them ensures the bumper sits correctly and maintains the classic Porsche contour and integrity.
When to replace:
Replacement is recommended during front-end restorations, bumper repainting, or after minor collisions. It’s also wise to install new brackets if you notice difficulty aligning the bumper or visible corrosion around the mounts.
Installation notes:
Always trial-fit the bumper loosely, align it to the body lines, and then torque fasteners securely. Use proper shims, spacers, and fresh mounting hardware or isolators to achieve perfect fit and long-term stability.

Understanding OEMatch Support Brackets, Retainers and Braces
OEM Original Equipment Manufacturer parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original support brackets, retainers and braces. OE Original Equipment refers to parts matching original specifications for the support brackets, retainers and braces and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM support brackets, retainers and braces engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models. OEMatch provides a wide selection of parts for Porsche applications and has catalogued thousands of part references to support repairs across different model years. Typical support brackets transfer load between bumper and structure, provide mounting datum for trim panels and retain finishing alignment during everyday use or after impact repair.
Benefits Include
- Consistent bumper alignment for correct exterior fit and maintained aerodynamics
- Materials and coatings chosen to resist corrosion and extend service life
- Compatibility with factory mounting points to simplify installation and reduce modification
Why Support Brackets, Retainers and Braces Wear and Fail
- Impact damage from collisions or low speed contact can bend or fracture mounts
- Corrosion and environmental degradation weaken metal over time and compromise fastenings
- Fatigue from repeated loading and vibration loosens fixings or produces cracks
The Importance of Replacing with OEMatch Support Brackets, Retainers and Braces
Replacing defective or distorted support brackets, retainers and braces restores the intended load paths and mounting geometry of the bumper and adjacent panels. Using replacement items specified for Porsche models reduces the risk of misalignment, prevents accelerated wear of adjacent trim and helps ensure that crash energy paths remain as designed. Where original parts are unavailable OEMatch supplies engineered alternatives that reflect original dimensions and tolerances and are selected for fit and function across common Porsche applications.
Advantages
- Direct fit replacements engineered to match original dimensions and tolerances
- Clear mounting points and compatible fixings to aid correct assembly
- Coverage across a wide range of model years to support repairs and restorations
