I'm VERY interested in Purchasing these Brackets provided I can install them on my 1962 Corvair Spyder. Please let me know if they will work for me.
Thanks,

These are on ebay for A body cars. According to their fitment chart they will not fit Corvairs but they look very similar to those sold by Clarks. They are also a little cheaper. it might be worth a call to The Parts Place to see if they will fit.
