Do u have an original or aftermarket...???
It should fit from what I know I think 72-73 left factories with the plastic valance but were damaged easily and changed out to the steel ones... I prefer the look of the plastic one...Chris

I’ve also heard they require a lot of work or “ could “ require ....to fit correctly ....That was one reason why I decided to stick with the steel...
I see early birds offers a fibreglass unit...wonder how they fit....Chris https://www.early-birds.ca/part_827_...98-125024.html

I love the look of the plastic valances too, but nowhere as durable as the tin part. |

As long as you don't hit anything, the plastic holds up well.

I have an original bracket not the actual Valance. Just wanted to make that clear. I did reply to the pm this morning. Cheers

That first bracket looks more like an exhaust manifold locking washer with bend over tabs that someone has made 'work'.
