Whats this under the rear shelf?

[Emm3]

I've removed the rear shelf as i need to change the rear speakers. With the shelf removed theres 2 ovalish shaped lumps of metal with hols one of which is threaded. What is this for?? its getting in the way of the speakers and i thought of drilling out the spot welds to remove it, thats if its not important?

Mine 1984 is the same, though I have no idea what they are for.

Fitting for the 'skyhook' on the production line?

Is there a prize for the best answer?

i used some ebay special pods on top of the shelf to house some 6x9's in and never had to cut any metal

You can remove them with a left handed screw driver

if you get a old shelf make an accostc shelf then you do not have to cut anything

Cut it off and weld it to a Menstrual cycle, you can get them in Halfords.

Is there 2 types of shelfs? The one in the pic I've posted is recessed where the speakers are in a rectangle shape but mine is fairly plain and level
