I'm replacing a broken grill in my 1971 'Cuda and noticed that the two lower mounting brackets are different and none of the correct hardware was used. I have a mounting kit on order and I assume that the one is correct because it has the same style mounting slot as the upper valance. My question is the other one (first picture)is this correct or should they match ? Thank you

76orangewagon, is there any evidence that you ever had these other 2 brackets I outlined from the FSM installed? Thanks, Joe

I remanufacture the two at each end if you need them
