Hi Everyone:

As I continue down the journey of restoring my 71T, one topic has surfaced which I need your help. It is related to the mounting procedure for the rear license plate bracket on a LWB.
Specifically, I am trying to determine what was the factory correct way the single bar license plate bracket (see pics below) were installed onto the rear license plate panel.

When we disassembled the car, the bracket in question was mounted via bolts and nuts (see pic below). The bolt head has M 88 markings on them. The bolts were mounted through two 7mm holes in the panel. Is this the correct way to mount the bracket or should hex sheet metal screws been used?

Best,
Ravi
