the round aperture that is imbedded on the right front fender behind the firewall?? what was its purpose in life,. i just took mine off and removed the little plate inside and also had it sand blasted

Of course you find the answer just after you admitted "I dunno ...".

The connector goes to the battery post on the starter. It connects directly to the 24-volt point of the electrical system. One connector goes out to the right fender and another goes back aft for radio power.

I am sure that this could be used for both external power for radios and as a jump-start connector.

As you could see on the earlier picture, it sat in a little recess with a capped connector.

Do you have the recessed metal and did any of the three tubs have a connector?
