I think you removed the plastic insert and this bracket went in its place. If memory serves me right it positioned the tach right in front of the dash pad. ANYONE remember this? Would love to find one myself.

I e-mailed him asking if he had any leftovers for a 71-4 b-body and never heard from him...If anyone has a pic of Superbird Bobs Bracket for a 71-4 b-body let me know how it looks/works. His site shows tiny pics...Thanks....

Would love to find one myself. I remember seeing that one on here, but i can't remember who was making it. It looked like a nice piece, but it blocked off the drivers side defrost. If i was to make one, i would put some holes in it for the air to flow through.
