Question Please help me find a part...

I need the metal heater core brace that supports the heater core (obviously) in the heater box of a 66. I can't find a place that sells them without having to buy the whole heater box. Are these sold individually any where?

what brace are you referring to? There are four bolts at the heater that go through the firewall, another left of the heater core, and one more at the inlet up behind the glove box that bolts up high.

He is talking about the brace that holds the heater core inside the heater box.
