What goes in this bolt hole?

[Michael J.]

OK,I have looked through the AIM and can see nothing about what goes in this hole at the bottom of the grille frame, shown in this picture (looking down through the hood-front end gap with the hood open):
Anybody know? Thanks for any ideas.

Paragon 12604K, It's a phillips screw and clip. I think you need the fiberglass tab that came from the factory to be still on your car.

Thanks, yes I ordered that and it is shown in the AIM, but I should have been more clear, what attaches to the screw after it does into the clip? I saw no fiberglass tab in the AIM. What purpose does it serve? Does it brace or attach to some part of the body, radiator frame etc.? Thanks for any info, this seems to be a big mystery and/or seems to serve no purpose.

Was your car ever hit in the front end?? I'd check some other 67's to see what should be there.

Michael....It attaches to the body. There should be a tab on the front lower valance which is just below the grill hole.....Bill

OK, thanks that solves it. Yes, the car, like most BBs I suspect, has had the front end replaced. There is no tab below the grille frame, so guess I will just stick the screw in and call it done.

This is what it should look like.

Great! Thanks, I can easily fabricate something that looks like that .

Here's another one showing the tab, U-nut, and screw.
