Over the yearsi have seen several original 69-72's that had a brace installed in this same spot. IIRC, it was made of 1/4" or so round rod, flattened on the ends where the original front to rear braces are and had a rubber "donut"over the rod in the center channel "groove" of the hood. I wonder if these were a dealer oltion or what. I have never thought to take a photo of one.
