Not sure what threaded brass fittings you are referring too? Do you have a picture?

No pictures currently, they're pieces that allow the metal brackets to attach to the plastic bumper. They're brass and both internally and externally threaded. They screw into the bumper and allow bolts to be secured to them

I'd be surprised if you could get them to thread back in properly after removing them. I've accidentally pulled them from stock bumpers and it pretty much destroys the hole. Your best bet may be to find someone giving away a bumper and salvage them yourself. I do not recall seeing a special callout for the inserts.

Right, I destroyed mine when removing my bumper. Now selling it and I want it to be complete

Is it possible to epoxy it back into the hole? I guess the value on the bumpers up north is a little different, they can't give them away fast enough down here....Sahara bumpers included.

I understand you wanting it to be complete for the next owner though, kudos for doing the right thing instead of just letting it be.
