    Posted: 22-May-2022 at 12:15PM
Looking to see if anyone has photos or source online for a couple of fasteners that attach the lower extension panel that fits below the bumper on a 1972-73 Montego. The part #'s shown on the attached diagram do not show up anywhere online. Looked also in the Ford Fastener 1955-73 catalog & AMK books / website. Believe its a carriage-type bolt & nut but not certain. I highlighted what I need to locate - thanks for any leads.

@Lynchster just installed his not too long ago and I think Eliteman had the link for them. They are definitely available at auto krafters.

Order the ones listed for the 70-71 Torino. They are identical.
I even located the four original ones I removed from my car 15 years ago and compared them. 👍

Would this be the correct fastener? Mine are missing / misplaced & I cannot remember exactly what they looked like. This is from AMK website for 1971 Torino rear valence part # 383076-S36

Awesome - thanks again everyone! I'm sure the rear valence on my Montego was off at some point and the hardware used to reattach were carriage bolts (which I finally tracked down last night in the garage). I was pretty sure that was not factory as the valence had movement and was actually too low on the drivers side and was sitting on top of the tailpipe. Hopefully the new ones will have that corrected.
