Hi, excuse the dumb question, but I'm a bit lost. I did not dismantle my car pre-restoration, so I did not experience these coming out.

I want to know how the brackets keep the buckets attached to the inside of the fender. I know that I need to place the bracket over the back of the bucket and tighten with the nut, but I can't see how the open ends of the bracket arms attach to the car.

Am I missing something? What function do the 3 asymmetrical holes on the bracket arms serve?

Thank you, Luke.

Thanks for all the answers. I do have the brand new electrical boots from914 Rubber ready to go on when the wiring is hooked up.

Regarding the discs with the connections, this is a problem. Mine are in bad shape and I have been searching for replacements. As far as I can find out, it's not possible to buy them by themselves. Is that the case? Do I have to get new buckets just because those parts are kaput? Aside from those parts, the buckets are solid and perfectly fine.

I understand that you say new buckets are cheap, but please consider that I have to apply the USD > AUD exchange rate and then shipping to the other side of the World, which adds up to be more than you might pay. That's been the case with my entire build so far... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
