I had a major over site and never noticed that all three brackets on my lower valance were missing! It must have had work done at some point and they wernt put back on. So I'm looking for a old valance that I can use the brackets off of. Getting the car on the road this year isnt looking great with everything that's popping up.

I'm pretty sure other years wont work? Thanks

Yes the front.  :pullinghair: I never even noticed they were missing. Now I need to find the brackets and more than likely get the valance repainted.  Thanks for looking everyone.

Mrbill426

Surprised they are not repoped  :huh:  even if one year only.  Are they "complicated" in design?

Um ...Yes they are re-poped, AMD make a 71 front valance that fits nice or you could drill out the spot welds and swap the brackets over to your original..mine was missing one of those brackets also and that's what I did and sold what was left

I'm trying to get around buying a new AMD one to rob the brackets. I'm sure someone has a beat up one somewhere

Mrbill426

Um... who repops them for a '71.   I checked AMD's site and found none listed for the front; just the rear.  Or are do they only come with the valance?

The brackets are not reproduced by themselves.  Only on the complete front valance I believe

Mrbill426

So not repoped; got it :bigthumb:  I was looking around but found nothing; I sent a inquiry to AMD to see.  I Hope you score them somewhere.

Yes the front valance is  reproduced that's why I bought the complete valance and took what I needed and sold the valance minus one bracket ...I'm sorry I wasn't more clear about them not making just the bracket.
