The rubber top fits nicely; but it appears there is an extra stud in the center with no hole to go through. What am I missing here ? Should the stud be capped ?

The license plate lights mounting screws penetrate that steel reinf in the bumper top. One of the two screws for each light is a ground screw. That tab on the 70-74 chassis provides grounding for the lights. If the lights are not hooked up correctly you’ll blow fuses due to a direct short of the lights power circuit to ground.

My new bumper top has one hole near the end of each license plate nook; however, the new Uro license plate lights mounting holes don't line up with that hole. |
