Request for Picture - '55 2nd Series Front Bumper Bracket

[DransportGarage]

I need a picture of a long side front bumper bracket as-installed. I have the brackets but I had filled the mounting hole when I boxed the frame.

...and yes, it's going to be interesting to get a nut on the inside of the boxed frame. After drilling the thru hole, I suppose I'll goop the nut up with J-B Weld, tape it to a stick, put it in place and use a bolt to hold it there until it nearly dries.

See how nice and pretty -- and non-functional I made it?

Thanks in advance,

I have those dimensions at home so I can get them.
how about using a long nut, like used on threaded rod, accessible from a through hole in the frame from the outside, like a hole was drilled right through, then enlarged to fit a nut through.

Don't worry about dimensions if it's a hassle, but they'd be nice to have. I'll just bolt the bracket to the bumper and swing it over to the frame. I just would like to see the elevation of the original hole in the frame in a picture.

Interesting idea on the long nut. We'll see once I dig in...

here are a few pics, sorry, the square was upside down so you get metric. google can help translate if required.
looks like 2" apart though.
I think the bracket is supposed to attach to the inside of the channel. you may have some messing around to get the brackets to fit a boxed frame. might be worth fabbing some new brackets or simply cut the boxing out of that area.

looks like 7/8" in from the front edge of the frame and the 2 holes are midline in the frame channel.
help?

looks like the center of the bottom hole is 1 1/8" up from the bottom.
help?
