Blackhawk Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I'm fitting my rear bumper onto the car and noticed a few extra holes, at least one looks like it had a fastener in it at one point. The bumper hasn't been on the car for 35 years, and I didn't see these in the assembly manual. There's the holes behind the license plate, which I assume connects to the frame crossmember, and the holes on the bottom. What are they for?

MC1of80 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 The 2 holes/ bracket mount to the body/tub of the car. You will see when you go to mount the bumper to the car. The 2 holes on the bottom of the bumper look like they are for an aftermarket trailer hitch possibly. The 2 holes behind the license plate, on the bumper are for rubber stoppers. The one on the right looks like it had a valve for rear air shocks. (someone added) not factory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Peters Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 If you are talking about the two small holes on the facing of the bumper with one of them looking like there had been a washer on it those two little holes are where the two little rubber bumpers go to keep the license plate doesn't slam against the bumper. rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Yes rubber stops in the holes behind the plate. Bottom of bumper????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 Thanks guys. I knew about the bracket, and it makes sense about the other two. The car did have aftermarket air shocks when I bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Additionally the two holes in between the bolts for the upper bracket are for the license plate light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
