No. those brace bars are not original on a Trans am car ( T/A or AAR). When those bars were introduced on the NASCAR racers in the late '60's they were referred to as P.I.T.A. bars (pain in the ass) because they were always in the way.

My early 71 had the inner fender replaced (in the late 70s) and the replacement came with the battery hold down bolt hole just like that one. I believe the battery hold down inner fender came later in 1971?
