[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 8498, member: 59"] Hi Tom, I know nothing of FF1s being drilled but my ’52 Comet, bought from Ted Davis came with the bottom lug of the head stem, which I take to be the FF2, drilled. Ted told me that some were drilled for a proposed alternative headlamp mount. There is no way to tell what the production date of that FF2 was. These holes are used on the enclosed series Ds to carry SL3 which supports the bottom of the headcowl, holding it forward. See MO 107D and MO91D I have seen hydraulic steering damper brackets bolted through these holes. Cheers, Ian [/QUOTE]
