Could it have been used as a shim for the rear trailing arm?

The holes are from two spotwelds I drilled out, its not very big, about 40x10 mm's.
I just cant for the life of me remember where it was on the body.

Looks like the center brace for the rear bumper rubber.

Appears to be similar to something a DAPO put on mine to hold the engine lid hinge support bracket into position.

I damned near blew mine off with a hand grenade the 5th time I wounded myself on it. I finally taped some insulation around it.

Funny thing, I just taped mine up after hooking myself on it a bunch of times going around the back of the car.

Anyone with the rear bumper off their car that can measure how far it sticks out from the body?
