I have a 72 Cutlass also. Not sure why you need to have these braces because I'm pretty sure they didn't come standard with the A Body in 72. Mine never had em. Heck, Dad and I tried to tell this stupid deer not to run in front of the car one morning but it did anyway. So we smoked that puppy. Minor damage to the front fender and stone shield, but there was never any issues with the front clip not being strong enough.
I had these braces on my 78 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. But I think that all Caddies came with them, even up to the eighties?? I scrounged some out of the boneyard and installed them on my 83 regency brougham just for something to do. Later I found out it just makes changing the battery or jumper cables a real pain in the a#%!
Does anyone on this site know whether the braces are needed?? or whether they are an option that would benefit the car?? Now I'm really curious. If they had em in 71, why not 72???
