PB Booster Hose Support Bracket
ZLP955:
Numerous differences, but the location of the bend in the central part of the bracket is the most obvious way to identify the vast majority of repros.
I wonder if that non-stamped bracket is an original part. Other parts that were typically stamped AAc include the front and rear license plate brackets, my front one has the stamp but the rear does not. It's still original to the car, but many I have seen do have the stamp.
Mike S:
IMO, that unstamped bracket may very well be an original one that either has no stamp -or- it is lightly stamped in an alternate location.
It looks too accurate to be a reproduction.

I agree with the last statement. It has ALL the right looks to be an original. But again, I have never seen one not stamped. I would use it on my car no problem. D

Tim, I agree. That center bend is never correct on repros and is always crisp looking. I'm away for the day but tomorrow I'll post another pic of the brackets inside one another. They are an "IDENTICAL" fit as they would be if made from the same machine. I'm 105% certain it's original, but to what ? Weren't these brackets made for several years ?
