I guess I could make some brackets from scratch, mimic the lower corner brackets.

i just looked i don;t have any there too i see a tab on the grill and an elongated hole in rad support but no bracket

Is it possible they were not installed for most 71s? My grille feels very sturdy without them.

Found this link from a few years back. A couple of guys state the brackets were never used. Correct mounting brackets for 71 Cuda grille in Body Shop

Top picture.
You can make a sheet metal bracket.
It's so long, it doesn't offer any up/down support.
But controlling the in and out will keep your other tabs from breaking.
I have no extras. Mine all have them.
Bottom picture.
The bumper brace is usually only found on cars with bumper guards.
I have a spare bracket with no guards, that's been sitting outside because it has a slight wow in it. I could fix it.

Only one picture? Will you sell lower bracket?

Do you have any measurements from other brackets you can provide?
