I recently picked up a Pearl Fiberglass kit that cleaned up really nicely. It's the blue satin finish and appears to be from 1970 based on the available Pearl catalogs on line. The weird thing is that the high tom had no tom holder and there are perfect fiberglass plugs in the hole where the tom arm should have gone and the mounting screws for the bracket. The wrap on this tom hasn't been repaired and perfectly matches the rest of the kit so I think the fiberglass patches were done at the factory, or very soon afterwards when the blue satin wrap was available.

Anyway, I figured I'd get a bracket and tom arm and mount it correctly, so found one on line and went to install it tonight and realized that there are only 3 mounting holes for the screws instead of the 4 that fit the hex arm tom mount that is on the other tom. I had a regular Pearl 7/8" bracket and the hole pattern matches, so maybe this tom was produced right when they switched from hex style to 7/8" and it got put on this kit.

Maybe I'm answering my own question, but should I drill the 4 holes for the old style bracket (and leave 3 plugs)? Or should I leave it as a 'semi virgin' tom and just mount it on a snare stand?

Attached pictures show the toms stacked up (pretty, aint they?), 2 of the larger mounted tom showing inside and outside, and then the small tom showing the plug pushed out, the bracket I picked up and then the same drum from the outside showing the original wrap.
