Anyone know what these two holes are for? From pictures I’ve seen on the inter web, there is nothing there, just two unused holes.

Maybe there was a function on the 567 Chevy pressing they prolly came from. GMH went back to the pin style latch per FC and EJ after the FB EK foray into Hollywood good looks.

Slightly off topic I am about to sell a NOS Nasco washer bottle & kit for an FB
