The OE post suports had "drain" holes in the top & bottom. Naturely stuff goes in the top and rusts out the bottom.
I cut off the support on a straight line flush with the bottom of the post to chk out if the rot was impacting the long. It wasnt so Im planning to just get cut a replacement support plate in .5, replace and weld up the stupid drain hole at the top! IPB Image

The drain hole at the top was for drainage if the car was flipped over. I think I would leave it there. IPB Image
