IIRC they’re a description fabricating that part in a thread. Seems like it may have been attached with a nut inside the trunk ?

Make sure it's extra sharp like the stock one... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It will chew the skin off your shins like a can opener if you brush past it with the rear bumper off. I'm the only one that's happened to, right (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) ?

Surely the bracket could be sourced from a donor tub.

Early cars had a removable brace on the front cowl. I have cut off the end and used it for the rear center bumper pad support. I have one if you need it. It is wider and thicker than the original part.

I have a rear wall that was removed from my fire car, let me see if the shin skinning bracket is there. If it is, its yours for the cost to ship.

So I believe this is the sinister part you are looking for. If you still need it, PM me and I will remove it, straighten it, blast it and prime it, then send it to you all for the cost of mailing it.....
