Default Pic request: Fog light mounting on Trans-Am

Does anyone have a pic that shows how the fog lights mount on an LT1 T/A? When I purchased my TA the fog lights were removed and the bumper support was not the correct one for my car. I believe the fog lights mount to the bumper support somewhere?

I drew some arrows pointing to the foglight mounting bolts, two per side, four total:

Thanks! Do you remember... are those holes on the support beam threaded, or is there a nut you put on the other side?

The holes have a permanent threaded insert -- looks like a "rivet nut." Foglight brackets then attach with bolts, though I do not recall the size/thread.

If no modifications to your car require what you have now, it looks like Classic Industries sells a factory reproduction front bumper impact bar for $39.99, part number 1668026. Otherwise, could always try to find a replacement from a junkyard or part-out.

If it were me, and I didn't have a rivet nut tool, I'd probably just drill some holes and weld a nut to the back side (put a bolt in it to hold the nut in place while you tack it in place). Getting the alignment right would be the difficult part. You could probably get by with a bolt, washer and nylock nut -- though it would probably be a pain to reach with the front bumper installed.
