This part was never offered individually. It does not seem to be listed in the parts books. It is welded into two other parts. It had 26 spot welds holding it on. What's it for? Think where you have seen it before.

I agree 100% and that is how I knew what it was- sadly.

Boy that was quick. 100 % correct. Going to install them on the 75 for bumper conversion.

Wow, THAT is dedication.
Access to weld on the trunk side is going to be tough.
Are you going to remove the welded impact mounting brackets ?
I didn't. I felt they might come in handy to attach tow loops.

Don't know if this is any use, but I have lots of pics from when I did that repair on my car starting here: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?s=&showtopic=307290&view=findpost&p=2625621
