69 center valance bracket

I noticed there is a bracket missing that holds the center of the front valance. I have looked at some of the online parts sources and can not find that part. The repair manual shows it to be a right angle bracket with 2 bolt holes that attach to the upright and 1 bolt hole to support the middle of the valance.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to locate one ?

Thanks

Check with Ames part number FB752M. On their catalog it asks to Inquire. Good luck

Not sure which one you mean. I think mine bolts to the bottom of the brace that has the hood latch mechanism.

I called Ames, that part # was discontinued.

It is item #82 in the diagram listed below.

Try Bill at earlybrds.com he might be able to help you out.

I might have an extra one. I will check and see, If I do I will let you know.

I'll be darned. I didn't even realize that was a separate piece. Guess I learned my new thing for today. I can relax now. The hood pull rod goes through that piece also.
