Default What goes in these holes? (XJS V12)

As you will see from the Photo, this is the Beam on which the Radiator is going to sit.

Looking under the Car from the Bonnet/Hood side, there are a couple of Brackets, that the Oil Cooler has been bolted on to.

But if you were to look under the Car and look at the Beam while your back is facing the Boot/Trunk, there are another two holes on the opposite side.

The First Pic shows the Brackets that the Oil Cooler bolts onto and the second Pic shows Two identical holes on the other side.

What (if anything) do you bolt on those?

The holes are there so it does not matter which way round the beam goes when it is fitted to the car. As well, I think the brackets for the shroud bolt up to the rear facing holes.

Hi Greg

Thanks,

I think you could be right, I seem to remember a couple of brackets but think that they must have rusted away.

They are for the shroud, as Greg already said.
