Default The missing piece..

Scratched my head for too long last Sunday trying to figure out the bumper reinforcement on my 73...went inside, then remembered, I stashed what I figured was missing in another spot.

the main big tube brace..

It's all there except for some nuts and bolts.

what are the vent looking tubes and connections?

Are the calipers Saveable? A cursery exam and they look worse than they are. Pr
I'll get a hone and find out, or not..someone has rebuilt calipers for a VERY good price.

The tube is the vacuum reservoir (Runs the headlights up/down a few times after the can is off but mainly there to make them work regardless of the engine load at the time)

Prior to the 73 they had a square-ish big can under the drivers fender, then moved it to that tube in the front. system all still works the same just a different place for the reservoir (and I guess less lengths of lines running to the headlights.
