    70 Hole in fender rail

    I've been noticing a hole in the driver side fender drip rail. I first assumed it was because of a replaced fender. I believed that hole is for additional a wire clip I thought began on 71's. The 70's wire and hoses appear to have a loop from the front of the fender up beyond the horn relay, past this hole area. Always looked messy to me.
    Just saw this 70 unrestored with the same hole. Is it an earl late 70 thing?

    I believe it is a later 1970 thing. To the best of my recollection my early 1970 does not have it.

        My '70, #12931, has a hole on the vertical part of the drip rail on the driver's side, and a hole on the horizontal lip of the drip rail on the passenger side.

          interesting, have to look on my 12981 car. (June). Wasn't there a bracket over there for the long neck washer bottle tube? 71 also?

                My '72 has the holes on both the left and right side of the drip rail's horizontal surface. It also has plugged holes on the vertical surfaces (both sides) What is the purpose of these?

                  Those plugs are called rivets, and they hold brackets.

                    My Bad. They are most certainly rivets and not plugs. I should have known that. Old age, I guess.

                    Help me out with the purpose of the holes.

                              Tom,

                              Your photo shows the two holes also in #12931 described in my prior post.

                              As Dennis mentions in his post, the passenger side hole is used to mount the plastic w/s washer reservoir used in some vehicles. Big blocks used a bag mounted on the firewall instead of this reservoir. Hence the unused hole in these cars?
