Eric,
Never heard of B B in B Colo.
More than likely, they are buying "or think they are buying" one from
one of the catalog parts suppliers.
Most likely Victoria British.

valance brace box, that is normally damaged along with the valance.
You might make an inquiry, as the part may not be returnable, and
even if it is, you are likely in for some serious shipping and crating
charges.
I hear great things of R. Martel "hasnt everybody?", but if he doesnt
make them, or you cant afford one, try to get a straight one from
a donor car front clip. This generally requires butchering the front
fenders so that the spot welds can be drilled out without warpage.
Any series Alpine "or Tiger" will do just fine.
