Default 1973 Front License

HI, I have a 73, I am replacing the front license plate bracket. I now find that I also need the bracket that the license plate bracket attaches to. I have looked through several catalogs, can't seem to find it.
Any idea where I can buy this little bracket? On my car it is attached to a larger support by a single screw.

It shouldn't be that much of a problem finding that bracket, (GM# 327643) The bracket is held by four screws, did you try Zip or Paragon?

One of the tabs that the left side screws to is broken.

If the tab is broken just fabricate a 3/4" wide by 3-4" piece of aluminum and drill out some holes and use the "U" nuts to hold it in place. Paint it flat black and that will hold it....I think those tabs are part of the front end/bumper brackets...
