I couldn't think of how to refer to these. I'm guessing the tub was installed 15 to 30 years ago. Maybe more. I've worked for these people for about 12 years and it was here when I came. Their daughter is 15 and would like a white tub. And she doesn't like these little nubs. She's a sweet kid but an only child and she's the princess, no doubt about it.
I haven't a bleedin' clue. There are 4 of them in a sort of square shape, not sure why that one pic only shows 3, I'm certain there are four. Steel, about 5/8ths dia., they protrude about an 1/8", little bit more maybe. Almost looks like some sort of hardware attached there but I can't imagine what it would be. If it was for a seat, you'd think it would have been in the middle, closer to the other end at any rate.
They almost seem stock. Drilling into that cast iron would have to be tough.
I recommended the epoxy paint, farm it out, not me, can't do it, don't want to learn. Not the best route but there is tile all around this thing that would break on removal and I know it couldn't be found. 99.999% know. He has mixed feelings, wants to explore a new one. If we do epoxy coat this one, I'm thinking I should grind these suckers down and fill the little hole with Smith's Fill-it Epoxy. If I somehow pulled them out would leave a much larger hole. I'm guessing epoxy paint would lock in the epoxy repair to some degree.
