I have my gas tank out and under it there is a ~100mm hole on the passenger side and a gap around the boot where the steering column goes through the body on the way to the steering rack.
Is something missing? Coming from Wisconsin, the hole and gap are very inviting to garage invading squirrels to store their nuts and more in the fall and winter and it seems like something should go there.... Are there OE parts that go there or did any one fab something up for the hole and gap? See attached pic... I have since cleaned up the surface rust. Cheers, Andrew |

So, if not running a splash shield, isn't this hole also an access point for water and rust (tho I can not remember this being a common rusty area, now that I think of it..) ?
