The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Paint and Body Shop 1946 Chevy 1/2Ton - Rear Bumper Mounting

Hi Guys! I have my rear bumper mounted and was looking for some advice. I originally had my tail light wiring going through a hole in the frame using a rubber grommet, but the bumper bracket covers the hole, so I removed wiring and grommet, installed the bumper and ran the wiring between the bed and frame. I guess it would work OK, but I'm thinking about cutting the mounting bracket (or maybe drilling a hole) to have access to the wiring hole. The bumper bracket is 3/8" metal (pretty beefy), but I don't want to cut it if it will cause issues down the road. Please see attached pictures. Thanks for any input.
