I believe it is but, let me ask folks this question....

Can anyone here post a pic of their plate in how it's situated with the valance?  When I mock my plate being there it actually sits on the valance which I believe is wrong.  My concern is whether there is a bracket that pushes the plate assembly away from the flat area you see on my car.

I'll post this same question over at TAC as well.

IIRC, Rich -- the factory bracket did just that.  The plate is supposed to be mounted vertically, whereas the front of your valance is angled back under the car -- so the bracket is supposed to be angled to compensate.  Or at least I recall that -- IN doesn't use front plates and never has so I don't know. :?

OK, looks like I need those two bars from GK's pics and then the black plate from ebay to achieve the look that Brett posted with his pics.  Excellent, that is exactly what I needed to know.

Anyone konw where I can get those bars in GK's pic?

Here is another picture I found saying it's the bracket (s) you need.



Again...not sure as I've never had a 74/75 T/A but I hope it helps
