I never knew those 3 holes were supposed to have plugs. Does anyone know what those holes are for?

Not too sure that there should be three.
The outer holes had plugs but the threaded one should be left open to allow the spare tire to be secured.
I've never seen a plug in that one.

There were there to allow the spot welder to get where it needed to be.
It was for manufacturing.

Are they the ones that have the dangly drains buil into them?
I think they're available from Porsche.

If it's the more rigid plugs either George or Mikey should have them.

Actually I think there must have been three. My car is original and has all three plastic plugs. Took these pics today.

Just goto your local hardware store and find some rubber plugs to put there. Unless you are building a concourse car.
