Hi r69,
I really think you need to buy a set of the brackets. Some of the vendors that have used parts should have them at a reasonable price.
The bracket is needed to attach the speakers to the dash pad.
You can JUST see the edge of it in these pictures. It's dark gray metal, just to the rear outer side of the speaker itself. You can see the bracket is what has the studs that the speaker fastens to with speed nuts.
Good luck!
Regards,
Alan

I'm doing the same thing to my 69 right now. You'll need to get rid of the 69 dash brace and use the little sheet metal brace for the 70 dash. I had the 70 speaker brackets and a set of 4 x 6 pioneers speakers bolted up pretty good. I'm putting the same speakers in the kick panels too.

Ray.. the brackets are getting harder and harder to find, they were cast and soft metal. The studs tend to break off of them. Fleabay might be a choice. I know of no reason you couldn't put the 70 pad in there.

IMHO, if your seeking better sound quality, use better speakers in the kick panels and forget the dash.
