This is a new one- I've never heard of this part being needed before, even in 
cars that have rolled! I'd call around to various Pantera parts vendors. As I 
always say with uncommon parts-needs like this, if you or your mechanic are 
unable to make a simple part like this from mild steel, you'll have to look for 
a wrecked or burned car that someone is parting out, and vendors always have 
one or two around. The bracket(s) need not be welded onto the inner fenders- a 
sheet metal screw would work. All the bracket does is locate the front 
corners height and keep the parts from vibrating. Good luck- J DeRyke
