1965 Hardtop TBird - Firewall to Shock Tower Braces

[Joe32]

I recently bought the set of braces that run from the center of the firewall to each shock tower. The car had none when I got it. But I see that my firewall has 3 mounting holes while the braces have 2 each. I've looked at other 65 engine bays and they all have the 4 holes. What is going on?

my "65 has 4 holes on the firewall, could you post a picture?

Thanks for your reply and thanks for making me take a picture -- because when I did I realized the 4th hole was covered over by a hose clip. Maybe I should work with more light, and not be such an idiot. Thanks again.
