1974 Rear bumper unused holes

(1/3) > >>

kram350kram:
In the chrome rear bumper I have there are two 3/8" diameter holes equally spaced each side of the license plate location in the chrome rear bumper. Anyone know what these holes are there for? Seems like a lot of cars, twin cam specials have these? Was going to weld them up before re-chroming the bumper?   

BDA:
The four holes in the "peak" of the bumper is for mounting. The other two holes (the ones I think you're referring to) are not used.

Roger:
I suspect they were used for number plate mounting in their original British Ford usage.

A picture to explain.

Certified Lotus:
 I welded those holes before chrome plating. Makes the bumper look more “finished”.  If your a “keep it original fan, just ignore me.  8)
