I have a couple of mystery holes in the passenger floor shown below. I'm sure they're for something, but I don't recall removing anything that attached there. What are they for?

Yep, those are the ones I was referring to and they look like the ones that 'Garland' posted. I measured the holes as follows:
Stoppers: 9.0-9.5 mm Drain tubes: 9.5mm passenger floor: 8mm 4 plugs in frunk: 7.0-7.5mm The holes for the 4 plugs in the frunk are .5mm smaller than the ones in the passenger floor, but I'd think the design of them would mean that the same plugs should work fine in the passenger floor. Mark/Matt, if you decide to make the plugs they'd be a great addition to your 'ultimate restoration kit'. |
