Whilst sanding back my splash aprons l discovered this hole ( see pics below ) and found the same hole in both the left and right hand sheilds.
Can anyone tell me what these holes were for and if all late 12 - early 13's have them ???
They are about 1" from the back edge and 1/4" from the fold.
cheers David.

pic of their exact location.
If you body has it's original sills, look to see if there's a screw hole that matches.
there was wood there but it was far to rotted to use, l didn't check or see these holes when l removed them but thought they were just rust holes...which now looking carefully, they clearly aren't...????...
Good point though, "were they fastened to the body undersill"..surely not at the factory.
