Mystery mounting points

[Malleus]

Maybe I knew what these were for, once upon a time, but my memory has failed me. There are five mounting tabs, with weldnuts, two on each side and one in the center, under the rear floor. This photo is looking up at the underside of the floor, with the top at the rear of the frame. Anyone know what these were intended to hold?

Maybe heat shield for exhaust??? I'm guessing it's for your 77 in your signature line??

 

[Malleus]

That's possible. I hadn't thought of that.

Yes, it is the '77, I should have said that.

Heat shield, mine’s still there

Good to know!

There are two heat shields. Large goes above the muffler. The smaller narrower one goes above the exhaust just behind the skid plate. Stock exhaust ran under the skid plate.
