Round holes in rear bumper.
When assembling the rear bumper on my '51 Chieftain,I noticed that there is a round hole on each side of the bumper,down low right at the end of the bumper. I don't have any idea what these holes are for. I looked at several pictures of cars,some had nothing in the holes,others had a round head bolt in the hole like a bumper bolt would have. Anyone know what these holes are for?
I also discovered you have to put the bumper guards on top of the bumper before you put the bumper on the
I don't think it would be a brace to the frame because the lower quarter panel would be in the way.Do you see that round bolt on the very bottom of the bumper? That's the hole that I was curious about.It is to the right and below the last bumper bolt.
Yes,my car has those corner pieces on top of the bumper,also bumper guards that bolt on where the two rear bolts are located.There is also a cross piece between the bumper guards,on both the rear and front bumpers.
