Could use a little help finding a part...

I am looking for the pencil brace that goes from the Hood Surround Header Bar down to the radiator support. I can't seem to find the one I had. It's for a 77.

Or... If they are just a straight, a dimension from hole to hole will help too!

Or... if someone could just measure thiers that would be helpful too!

I just measured mine on my 77. From the center of the hole where the bolt goes through just below the hood surround to there the brace bends toward the rad support is 12.75 inches. From that bend to the rad support is another .75 inches. If you dont want to fabricate one, Id suggest calling a place called Contemporary Corvette. They are a Corvette junk yard in Bristol, PA and have amazing prices on used parts with great shipping rates. Ive bought a ton of stuff from them (including my wheels) and have never been let down. Good luck! -Neal
