Default Bracket Identification
I recently purchased a 1969 project car which came with a couple of boxes of parts. Does anyone know what the brackets pictured are for? Thanks in advance!

1st one is the center support rod attaching to your horse shoe bracket and core support. 2.3 & 4 are I think inside front bumper brackets.

The rod on the top pic goes from the Radiator core support to the metal brace between the horns,the other brackets are front bumper brackets

Hi dh,
The brackets in your 4th photo are used to bolt the bottom of the bumper-ettes to the forward crossmember.
Regards,
Alan

The lower left brackets are the "twist" brackets that were added between the front outer "dog Leg" braces where they bolt to the outer front bumper ends, and the other end is to support the front fiberglass metal reinforcement that the headlights bolt up to. Hope that this helps you out. Lou.
