Default 1970, 1971 inner fenders

I've been searching this. The difference between the inner fender for 1970-1973. Is there any difference between 70 and 71. In other threads I see 4 bolt holes mentioned for the splash shield for 1970 inner fenders. The photo below is the inner fender off my 71. The reason I'm asking is that I have a 70 that I will restore when done with the 71. I think my 70's inner fenders have been replaced and am searching for replacements. Could the inner fenders off my 71 be for a 70????. See the 4 bolt holes. Help unconfuse me. Is there a breakdown for inner fenders, as to what years were the same, or if some one year only.

thanks

My '71 Trans Am has four bolts attaching the front splash shields. Car was made 9/70. Had a '71 Trans Am parts car years ago that was made in 1/71 and that too used four bolts.

When I built my '70 I needed a right side inner fender well. The local old car parts yard had a very clean one from a '74 formula. It went in the car just fine, all I had to do was drill it from a 2 hole to a 4 hole in the front where the splash shield fastens. Looks just like its suppose to be.

I use 71 2 bolt inners on a '70 and just add the two holes and clips, BUT that said, the 71 did Not have the splash shields and I hate installing them on a restored inner..

Seems both 70 and 71 had splash shields, maybe its a midyear thing in 71. My 71 is my fun car, It had the wrong drivetrain when I bought it, my 70 is all there except for the inner fenders. I'm thinking I'll take the inners that I have for the 71 and save them for the 70. Now I'll start looking for inners for the 71.

My next question is about aftermarket inners. Has anyone used them, any major fitment issues.
