Holes

Post by Velocette » Mon Aug 08, 2011 11:04 am

I have noticed that there are two 20mm holes, one on each wheel arch leading into the bottom of the sills. Should these have bungs in them or are they meant to ventilate the sill?

Are they there as standard or would they have been drilled for rust treatment?

if your talking about the rear arch ones, they should have a grommet in.

Yes, the rear ones, I will find some blind grommets, and spray some ACF 50 in there for good measure. I think mine have probably been pinched or fallen out because I would have noticed them sooner than this when washing the arches.

I had a proper look underneath yesterday and there are a couple more missing on the inner part of the sills. The ones that are present look like Scrivets. I squirted some ACF 50 in there for good measure.
