73' Charger rear bumper gueards? Mount brackets? Help !

[BMOTOXSTAR]

Hi,
Does anyone have a pic of how the rear bumper guard bracket attaches, (from the bottom of the bracket to the valance)?
I took them off, now I forget how to put them back on.

Theres a small bracket that bolts to the frame rail with 2 bolts (if I remember right) and the bumper guard bolts to it.  I dont have a pic of them but take a pic of what you are trying to do and I can probably tell you what is wrong.

That is what I am talking about.
I need a pic of how that bracket attaches to the valance & bumper guard.
Thanks Matt.

It actually doesnt touch the valance.  The bumper guards fit into the slot and the brackets bolt to the frame.  I'd take a pic of it, but I think they have all been removed on the cars I have left.  I'll look tomorrow and make sure.

There is a bolt that is a PITA to get to behind the valence that hold the bracket to the frame. I have been trying to get mine off but no tool I have is the right size.

74 is different... and is 9/16"

  For whatever reason the 73 and 74 guards mount completely different.

What I can't figure out is how to get the bracket to attach from the bumper guard down underneath to the valence. It seems as if the bracket is too long? 
I know allot of guy's do not like the guards but I want the car to be as factory looking as I can get it.

Funny thing I just happened to run across this bracket....  who knows where the other one is.      Anyway, its one of the brackets I was talking about.  These bolt to your rear frame, and the bumper guards bolt to these.

that bracket makes an offset on frame rail to be able to bolt bumper guard lower brace.

Ok you just lucked out again.  I ran across these pics while looking for something else.  The bracket has been cut up but you can see where it attaches to the frame.

Matt,
This is what I am talking about. What am I doing wrong? It is as if the bracket is to long & goes past the threaded insert piece?

[Charger1973]

Do you have any pics of it together?  I cant see anything wrong with the setup so far. 

[BMOTOXSTAR]

I will post some tomorrow.Thanks Matt.

I found these in the basement, they were too rusted to come loose and were cut off the car.  Maybe they will help?  I dont know...

[Nacho-RT74]

there you have the missed part of  bracket of the pic you got LOL

neither I. Elongated hole runs to frame bracket

...

This is just a guess but we can give a try to this: fenders top braces are very similar... maybe were confused on assembly ?
