Default Ft. airdam part I.D. question?

Working on a 1990 conv. in the shop today. The center section of the front lower air dam is sheared off. Wondering which part in this schematic I should order or try to track down so the air dam can be put back together and be functional again. Thanks in advance!

Just replace the whole thing $50 on ebay if I remember right.
Just looked there is a NOS center piece for $60.

There is 2 different heights for the deflectors. Post the casting numbers from the LH and RH end pieces to ID them. If they're not original measure the height of what's there. You can't mix them. Also above the center you've marked there should be a "colored" deflector that diverts air towards the cooling module/air intake.

It's good to have it ALL!

We have the actual air dam pieces, it is where it mounts that is broken. I'm thinking we need parts 42 and 43 from the schematic, but checking here first.

Sounds right if no mounting edge or metal reinforcement is left.

Sorry I thought the arrow was pointing to the center part of the dam.
