    Hi Rob,
    Thanks again - your response confirmed my suspicions that the smaller outboard hole is for the mounting bolt. And then yesterday I found the photo below that helps confirm this (along with where the headlight wiring enters the bucket). So it looks like all the options available (even NOS) will require the mounting bolt hole to be drilled. Not a big deal, but good to know.

    Ravi,

    Perfect - thank you for posting that photo. I purchased two NOS buckets but will need to drill holes, and this will help as a guide.

    Question: What did the factory install in the two larger bottom holes? One drain tube tube and one plug, or two drain tubes?

    Good question. I don’t have access to the car and I don’t have pictures of what was installed. But I do recall only ordering 2 vents (they are vents, not really drains) so I think he must have plugged them. I have original parts binders and will check those.
