    Hey Guys,

    Never had a front valence on before... Everything's mounted except I keep going back and forth how the upper center hole should be mounted.

    Does the valence hole go above or below the mounting hole on the car?

    Thanks :tiphat:

    It should go underneath the brace. The nut clips onto the valence and the bolt runs down into it.

    Do you have the correct grill center support for the front valence you are using.

    The center supports are year specific. 1970-1972, 1973, 1974-1977

    I would assume so... It's a 71 car and a 71 valence.

    Then you are in good shape.
