  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    WTB "core support brackets" (if that 's the right name) for a 73 and a 75 ( but are the same, so I need 4... already satisfied with 1 or 2 )....
    Looking for the small ones from fender to front (see red arrow )....:

    Is that a Riv-only item? Let me know. Will be visiting a bunch of yards on Sat. Need your reply no later than 11 pm Eastern.

    Please email me direct at GStage1@buickperformance.com

    I believe it's a 72-and-up item for all the big cars....possibly even later than that.

    I believe '73 Rivs had the support brackets from the fenders to firewall only.

    Well, I need to know for sure. Local yards have the following:

    74 Catalina

    75 Olds 98

    Several 72-76 Cadillac full size.

    If those have the same bars, I can get them for you.

    Yep, I just looked at some pictures of a 72 I had on file. No brackets. I do remember that 73 I had last year did have them though.

    The brackets to the core support/fender I do not remember. I saw a 75 LeSabre with them...

    Thanks for all the help so far

    I'm sure that the small ones are in a '73 Riviera (like the one in my first post....yes it is a '73... really don't know what that washer jar is doing there next to the brake booster :Do No: )

    Cannot find any data about those brackets (there is nothing in the 73 nor the 75 chassis manual or a part service manual or collision estimating guide)

    George, I have send you a PM :TU:

    Thanks!

    Rob,
    you were right. That's something I didn't know until today. :TU: Just found another '73 with them. Adding that to the registry.
