Can someone tell me where this bracket goes on a 1960 Corvette? I know the 2 black ones are under dash support brackets. I cannot find the other longer one in the assembly manual and I don't recall removing it during disassembly. Also its not one of the front fender brackets.
Thanks

Likely 1 of 2 grille/nose support rods, which mount at the riveted brackets at the Upper Cowl, just in front of the hood on each side.

They're available in reproduction....

I originally thought that was not the support for the nose but after reading your post I realized that yes that's where it goes. Thanks for the help.
