Check with AMK and see if they sell them? downfall is that you need to have a $30 min order with them.

Thanks guys. Those are close but not quite right. I was hoping someone was making these. Nope, I've done a few 68-69 Charger grilles and had to repair several of the broken studs. I grind the broken stud off flush with the base , drill it out all the way thru, tap the hole 1/4-20 . Then thread a stud 1.25" long into and tack weld it from the backside. Once welded in grind the back side flush. Then prep and paint it, once done you can not tell it was ever done

Well in my case I don't have the head to weld it too. The entire leg of the brace was either twisted off or it was cut off to repair another grill. I'll post a picture of my repair when I'm done.

KInda looks like the studs on the E-brake assembly, might have luck scavenging some of those.
Careful, your character's showing!

I had a grille with a missing lug on the mounting leg. Fortunately, I had a parts grille I could rob pieces from to repair the one I redid,,,, Short of doing the same. I think your in for some serious fab work
