Other than enlarging the hole in the back are there any other changes to make these correct?
It looks like extra brackets riveted to the buckets?

The grommets that go in the enlarged holes, all four buckets.

Here's a link to them...

With regard to you question on the modifications to the '60 Galaxie head light bucket modifications.

That bracket you asked about, was not added it was removed or cut shorter.

On the early cars where the bucket was held by a band-clamp that went around the outside of the buckets that bracket was removed to accommodate the band-clamp.  On later cars where the plates where used to hold the buckets to the car it was either removed or sniped-off to some degree as it was not used or needed.  Others will chime in too...

I think those brackets were where the aluminum bezel was screwed to the headlight. As stated, they were removed for Shelby use.
