Default 1970 Front Clip question

I need to know if anyone has bought a new Ecklers front clip and if it has the head light support installed, and the the long medal radiator supports that bolt to the radiator support and hold the front clip on also. I am looking for a front clip for a 70 and was going to buy 1 with inner fenders, not sure what else I will need for it, any help would be great. Thanks

Their catalogue says the front end includes the headlight header and the reinforcement at the nose. It doesn't mention the inner panel reinforcements for the core support. Since these are a 'rivet on ' item you may need to use your old ones.

Thing is I have no old clip to use any parts off of or i would have what I need not sure what those supports are called or if they make them. Thank you for your input I guess I will order a new clip if the support is there for headlights.

The core support inner skirt reinforcements are called out in the AIM as Reinf Asm L.H. and R.H.. The left side part # is 3953051, the right side part # isn't given, but it's likely #3953052. AIM ,UPC 11, Sheet A11.

Alan

PS: Try someone like Wilcox or Paragon .

I bought a one piece molded front clip for my 72 last October. It came with the header bar and nose reinforcement bar.... that's it. The wheel wells (skirts) are then bonded into place and "hung" on with the inner skirt reinforcements. I got it all from Eckler's because mine were all rusty and nasty looking...
