72 Pantera 2636 I'm at the end of the tear down and found this modification. (Thankfully the only one) Not sure if it is possible the rack location was tweeked for bump steer?
Can anyone tell me how this brace should be attached ? It seems out of place.
2 holes use rack attachment bolt and the others through the body, 2 holes don't line up with anything. .
A pic of a proper setup be great. Thanks JerrySr

If your '72 car has the factory '73-up bump-steer shims, Bill Stroppe's neat rack brace will not fit thru the stock holes unless some mods are done. The bump-steer shims fit behind and space the rack fwd/down by about 5/16" so stock length rack-mount bolts won't be safe to use either.
Most simply drill two more holes in the right subframe and use longer bolts to mount the rack, but cutting 5/16" off the shoulders of the rack's top mount allows the brace to fit thru the stock holes using stock bolts. This is a 5-minute milling machine job.
