Hi, while I don't have the filler you need, I share this same need for my '76 Ninety Eight's. Check out this post I started a few days ago where I am starting to work with a manufacturer to reproduce these parts in ABS plastic. I'm hoping to generate a good amount of response on there to help show the need for these parts to be reproduced correctly, not like what is curently out there. Good luck and let's keep our fingers crossed that we get lucky with this pursuit!

For some reason I was thinking 73 used a cast potmetal taillight housing extension?

Unless he is speaking of the bumper filler panel? I have a 73 or 74 tail light and extention and you are right, its metal.

Thanks for replying but the filler I need is made of some sort of rubber or plastic they are usually always cracked off of 73's they are one year only and are nearly impossible to locate. the reproduction fiberglass ones that I tried are of poor quality. Don

Right, all of the fillers (quarter extensions) on the '71-'76 Ninety Eights are urethayne (rubbery plastic) and eventually dry out and crack. The taillight bezels are made of pot metal. The '73 has to be even harder because it is a one-year only model, that is about the only advantage I have with my '76 is that the fillers are identical on a '75. I wish I could say that meant there were plenty of available options but it doesn't at all. We really need a GOOD solution for these parts.
