    I've finished the grabber spoiler conversion on my 73and have the original 73 corner pieces that came from my car and the lower extensions that came with the spoiler I purchased that aren't used on 73's and up. Will my 73 corner pieces fit for all years as well as the earlier 69-72 small bumper cars? I'll be listing them for sale as a set in the classifieds and want to make sure I word my description accurately.

    Nope...unless someone want to drill and fill bolt holes and use '73 bumper mounts. '73 was an odd ball on the lower extensions

    Interchanging rear corner pieces

    So my little pea brain can better understand I've posted a pic of the two parts I'm trying to determine interchangeability on. The part B that came from the 72 Grabber mounted perfectly on my 73. All 3 mounting studs lined up with the 3 holes in my rear quarters.

    Part A was not used on my 73 but I'm thinking it was for at least the 69's through 72's.

    Part B will fit all Mavericks...Part A will need anothe hole drilled and old holes filled to fit 74-77. Part A will bolt up to a 70-72 without drilling and filling any holes. Here is a pic the 74 upper quarter extension next to a 73 UQE. The hole for the lower bolt (on part B) is already drilled from the factory on a 74 and has putty filling the hole. I don't know if the hole is there on the 75-77

    Wow, I never realized there was such a big difference in the UQE between the years 73 and 74 up. That thing is huge! I'll probably break up the set for selling so whoever needs it doesn't have to buy something they don't need.

    Thanks for attaching the pics------they were worth a thousand words.
