    AA engine splash pans extra hole

    I see after Oct 1929 the engine splash pans, per the Judging Standards and Restoration guidelines, only have the rear side of the pans use the oil pan bolt at the rear to hold them up from the bottom on the engine side. The front side hole tab was removed. The 3 frame bolt holes remain intact...
