Default WTB convertible cowl bracing

Looking for any or all of the cowl bracing for a '68. I have a early BB vert that does not have any of these parts.
Thanks!

Check ebay. I saw one there. I believe earlier 68's didn't have this piece though. I think it showed up in later 68. Old memories about this....

Thanks for the link! And yeah not on the early cars, but thats why I want to fit one to this car. LOTS of steering column/cowl shake.

Mike, Are your saying that even the late 68's with bracing did not use the saddle?

Cowel bracing??
Are those braces like 2 feet and one feet and so on? about 5 pieces, it is a tube that is crimped on both ends that bolts to certain locations under the dash area

The seller says this set is for an AC car.
