I dont mean to start an argument in semantics but no, it is not cloned onto a 70-72 shaker because it is the same part numbered component.

The fiberglass dome (from a 76 maybe? going by the decal) is the same part number top used from 71-76. The only difference between the fiberglass portion of the shaker tops from 71-76 was the insert that the factory glued into the opening: A flapper in 71 and 72 versus a rivet flange in 73-76. That is why it was used as a donor piece - it is the same correct fiberglass part. I still have the original, very busted up, 72 lid if the buyer wants that, free of charge, too. It has the exact same part number as the refurbushed one, in the exact same spot.

The metal base plates were, of course different ones used in 70-72 with the wing nut studs and 73-76 wth the mounting ring.
