Please - Offer some proof of the above statement.

You have only offered conjecture.

If unbraced hoods were really breaking, how come you can still find them fifty-four years later(?).

right there you have contradicted yourself.
It's not a possibility;
Weather you realize it or not, you are attempting to rewrite facts.

To be a "1970 only" part;
It would not have been used on 1971 vehicles.

I think I read that same post that you did about a 1971 TA with a twelve bolt;
I cannot recall that story or situation;
But clearly there is more to the story there.
