Front inner fender brace.. got it? ** Early Mk1 owners **

[mardak at cogeco.ca (Mark)]

I had a chance to check my 75 today, and it DOES have the brace.  Looks
like it's always been there too...  I bought it from the original owner,
so I could ask him if he opted for it as a dealer option...

When I pick up the 77 next week, I'll get back to the list whether or
not it's got one as well...  Any other early Mk1 owners have some input?

Mark.
