On the RS, they added several additional reinforcement bars that were not there in 1972 to meet the new crash requirements. The bars from the radiator support to the front fenders were also longer so the engineers did their diligence and testing.

With these 11 unique support bars found on only the 73 RS. Very hard to find if you are missing them.
