The TR2 did come with holes and captive nuts for competition windscreens,
but these were deleted on later cars (and didn't fit the windscreens
available today anyway). Don't recall offhand when the holes were deleted,
but TS39781LO doesn't have them (and never did).

No holes is original for your car, so unless you plan to install windscreens
