I am primarily interested in the part on the RH side that actually attaches to the deluxe grille.  It is unique to the 71 for most of it's production since ford redesigned this area and went to a single support.  I will take the driver's side as well if available.  Decent condition with respect to the metal.  They will be stripped and repainted so as pulled from a parts car is what I am thinking.  They are the parts that attach to the gray vertical struts on both sides of the hood latch.

No luck from anyone on this part? Don is out of them. Part number is D1ZZ-8181-A I think. The pic shows the drivers side (LH) part. I need the mirror image for the RH side

I might have one of those at the garage.  Will check tomorrow.  That doesn't look like the ones I have on my five 71s that I have however,  that looks more like a single kidney 71/72 version.  Will show you what I have.

Yeah it is a pic from a 72 sprint center support. My Mach has them but it is on the hoist and I am working on the vert

I do not have any of the correct 71s for the dual brackets, but do have the single version that you are showing.  Here are pictures of early 71s for reference, and the 72s that I have.

thanks to everyone for looking.  Keep me in mind please if you come across one.  i am going with my original lower valance (it does not have the bolt tab for a center connection).

Highjacking this old thread because I am looking for this piece… Motorcity, I am converting my early 71 2 post to a single post with a Mach1 grill. I already purchased a single post support and valance with a center mount hole..I think I need the intermediate plate that goes between the hood latch vertical support and the grill….if you have one please let me know….
