I'm in the middle of the header bar replacemt on the nose of my CE. I have the old header bar out and and everything is nicey nicey but for some reason when I was ordering everything I also purchased

75-82 Front Bumper Nose Panel Reinforcement

When I get underneath and look around I dont see the part I'm holding in my hands??? I guess I went on a buying frenzy..

I checked the assembly manual and catalogs and everybody just grazes over this item..

Anybody know wher it goes and how it goes in?

what does it look like...is it a steel rod about 14 inches long?

It's about 48 inches long. It looks like it picks up the center chassis bolt?

That looks like a nose reinforcement for the '68 thru '72 chrome-bumpered cars. Does it have ten 3/16" holes in it? If so it is supposed to be riveted to the inside of the nose using aluminum rivets.

yeah, it comes installed in the front edge of the hood surround panel.. then your bumper cover bolts thru it.. if you didn t take the original out, send that one back

It's a nose bar reinforcement CC has it listed on the website incorrectly. My car was monkeyed with by the previous owner and I wasnt sure if he just left if out or it didnt belong there to begin with.

It's gong back on Monday. Thank you for eveything
