I've seen that, but I'm not entirely convinced it was original. I couldn't see the cover up in the catalogs. That doesn't stop me from wanting the sticker though.

Some just like to accessorize. For poseur wanting drillium exhaust or the speedy descent, holes are for curb feelers. See the bicycle section in J.C. Whitney catalog.

Whatever you do with it, I’d advise against running a long bolt through it.
