MG TD TF 1500 - Headlight Bracket studs

I think I know the answer on this one but wanted to check with the group.

One of my headlight brackets has the stud holes open. The other has it finished over. I think the open stud is what came from the factory.

The arm on the right is the way they should look.

They were not open studs. They were put through tightly, cut off and then ground smooth with the profile of the casting. They may need a bit of putty/primer to make sure you cannot see the ring at the stud from the top.
Christopher Couper

Thanks Chris. That is exactly what I did. I ground the top of the stud down flush and then filled the area with paint.
