Wtb nice original '70 fender brace (front lower)

Hello, I am looking for some nice original front lower fender braces for a survivor type '70 442.

As seen below the rubber on the drivers side of my originals is good, but the passenger side brace has a tear in the rubber.

I really only need passenger side, but will buy the set if this is the only option.

Thank you

The Inline Tube repros are spot on versus the originals.

I just put a set on my car.

I'll see what I have, if mine is better I'd even be willing to trade you. I also used Inline tubes for one of mine, sometimes I feel cursed staying as original as possible, I know I'd really feel that way owning a survivor like you do, but sometimes that's the fun of it.

The 70 also uses a different type of rivet to fasten the rubber for the support bar.I should have a passenger side for a 70.It the driver's side that is usually rotted,like the core support,from the battery.

Brian, as always thanks for looking into you treasure chest of parts!

Paul, the ILT part does look nice, but I am trying to avoid the repops as I know you are too.

Steven, thanks for the offer, but I would hold onto all of the original parts of that sweet W car you have.

I am in the same boat as you. I have one nice brace and the other side is toast.

Tom, thank you for your offer and help! I think I will keep looking though.

I plan on restoring my originals for right now, as they have heavy under coating that protected them from heavy rust.

My car is a survivor type car that has nice parts on it, but I am always trying to locate nicer original assembly line parts.
