What’s sitting here?

[Mattias]

I’m replacing the lower radiator support on my Coronet -66. What is originally sitting attached to the three big holes?
Thanks!

Nothing.

I believe Stanton is correct. Maybe those holes were for hooks to carry the part on the assembly line?

Or positioning for attachment ??

Ok, thanks for your answers. The new support l’m about to install is missing the holes but now I will not drill any...

Adds strength

Drain off holes for when you drain the radiator. So they wont end up having water sitting on there and rusting out a main bracing feature.
