hi,
I am wondering what the circled item is? when repairing the hell hole I have used "picklex" to convert the rust inside the longs,(minimal from what I can see) using a spray gun with an attachment hose that I purchased from a company online that sells a different product called "fluid film", a lanolin product. anyway,,, when I sprayed the rust converter with the spraygun/hose, some of the product dripped out of these holes that are original... are these holes, about five per side, meant to allow water to escape from the longs? also, it would seem that water could make it's way UP into the longs as well. thinking of caulking them? forgot the pic oops thanks  randal |

Yes those are the drain holes. I would keep them open to prevent water entrapment inside the longs.
