Left turn signal cancel spring on left, right turn signal cancel on right. No clue why they are not the same material.

Here's the front of the Vortec heads w/ Suburban bracket in foreground. See how far apart the top left bolt hole and the stud are?

This picture of the Caprice bracket in place was a bit hard to get. My thumb is pointing roughly towards the stud, which has nothing to connect to.

This is the back of the Caprice passenger side bracket. See how close the holes are? About the same as drivers side.

It's not just the plastic that doesn't fit past the brake line, but the plastic is not helping either.

After bending. I could have gotten it even better, but since the front side is the reference plane in my case, I decided to quit while I'm ahead.

There's some minor warping where the right wing got too hot. Should polish out fine.

This is how it came out of the box. Doesn't look like much of a bend, but it won't fit in the tail center.

My mistake polished right out. The gap is about the same with the later model bird as the original, only the tail is slightly different. I still need to paint the PONTIAC to match.

Gaps at front and rear are not present with stock part. This is a rigid glass part and does not bend.
