: 72 SS rear bumper question

The SS badge in the center of my 72 rear bumper was trashed, so I ordered a repo from Year One.

The new one has the two mounting bolts plus a third little plastic alignment pin.

My rear bumper only has two holes. No place for the alignment pin.

I'm assuming that this means that my rear bumper is not original.

I guess I'll just grind off the alignment pin. That has to make more sense than drilling a hole in the bumper, right?

I just looked at my bumper and I have two round holes with a oval to the right on my 72'. Grinding off the third pin would probably be the easiest.
