Can't make up my mind on whether or not to weld this drain hole closed.
This drainage slot sits under the pedal cluster.  I belive the intent is to let moisture from pedal area have a place to drain to. However, I will never be driving this car with snow on my boots or with shoes that would be sopping wet. Not sure this is the case though. There is no similar slot on the passenger side to drain that side. The only other thing that I can imagine this could drain is brake fluid when then Master Cylinder eventually gives up the ghost. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Rather than provide drainage, I think this slot will only serve to allow road spray and/or moisture up into the car. On new automotive sheetmetal there is no accomodation made for draining water from the footwell area. The only exception that I'm aware of are for Jeeps and the new Bronco but not likely I'll be muddin' or water fording with the 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) Can anyone talk me into a reason for not welding this up? |
