BN2 rear shroud holes

[WaltCasten]

Hello,

Does anyone know which of these holes are original in my BN2 rear shroud? The car never had a license lamp on it since I've known it. All it had was a license plate bracket mounted in the two lower (smaller) holes, marked 5 and 6.

I need to tell the restoration shop what to do, the default is just to weld them all shut and figure it out later.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Walt

Quoting the Anderson Moment guide: "A license plate light was fitted inside the rear bumper, bolted to a black metal bracket, which was in turn secured to two 1/4" studs welded to the inside of the bumper. The light connected to the rear wiring harness inside the trunk with two wires covered with a black plastic sleeve. This sleeve passed through a hole in the shroud protected by a black rubber grommet. The license plate itself was fastened to a simple black painted bracket that bolted through two holes into the rear shroud below the rear bumper."

I'll leave it to others to provide pics or tell you which of your holes are original if any.
My guess would be that #4 is the wiring hole and 5 and 6 are the license plate bracket holes. 1,2, and 3 look like add ons.

Number 2,5 & 6 are the original ones. 5&6 for the license plate bracket and 2 for the wires going through a grommet.
