Hi Please check the attachment. Am I missing a bracket between the tab on the bumper to the fender?

If so, does anyone have an image?

Thanks

You sure are lol...

I have one of mine missing off my 71 Gtx too.

But my car is in storage and I can’t do you picture, so sorry.

It’s a squarish 3 inch bracket with a large rubber bumper that goes behind the bumper.

If you are in need of a set I have one that I can sell you. The bad, I'm in Canada, so a little more expensive to ship it to you. If you can't find any, these are here

Thought I had a pic but can't find it. There is also a bracket that goes from the lower cushion bolt to the bumper ear.

My mistake. Goes to the top bolt.
I might have a pair of the impact cushions.

Thanks for the image! Now everything makes sense.
There was a box of mystery parts that came with the car when I bought it, there's a couple of cushions in there.
I think I can fab a couple of brackets.
All I have to do is find some time.
Thanks again

Finally got a chance to complete the project.
Turns out I already had some cushions.
I fabbed the straps from flat stock.
Thanks everybody for all the great advice!
