Mounting bracket to front fender
Is there someone who can help med find the brackets to the front fender.
There is one on each side bolted together with the frame.
Both mine are missing!
It works without but probably god to have in a colision.
Corvette c3 1972.

Hi R,
Here are a couple of pictures that show the area in the drawing that W posted.
#7 is the frame extension that carries the forward crossmember and #10 is the corner bumper bracket.
You're right in thinking they're good to have in place just to mount the bumper properly…. hopefully they'll never be needed in a crash.
Regards,
Alan

Hi yes its number 10 i'm after,
But it seems overkill with the 10 bracket, the fender have multiple fastening points, but of course it should be there
Aldo I need everything in front of bracket number 10.
Also what kind of fasteners you use for mounting them, looks like small rivets( do you call them that?)

Hi R,
There are 2 small brackets forward of #10.
I'm not sure what rivets you're referring to? Perhaps those that hold the reinforcement to the front edge of the hood surround?

Hi John,
While I try not to be bubba, I can really screw things up trying to do things I don't know how to do!
Luckily I don't mind re-doing things over, and over, and over!

I compared the small brackets at the end of bracket number 10 willcox showed and those on your car, doesn't look the same, how they are bent.
