Title: Re n/s scuttle drain can anyone tell me if the hole in the pic is Std?
Post by: Cliffo B on 18 January 2013, 14:30:25

(https://dl.dropbox.com/u/57377687/SDC10302%20-%20Copy.jpg)   

Pic is of the inside of the N/S scuttle drain which was full of the usual debris
Bottom of the pic the frogmouth grommet can be seen
I need to know if the hole (about 22mm) in the bulkhead should be there
I can't recall one being there on my previous Miggies
And it does have rusted edges
Thinking it could have been done by the previous owner for some unknown reason
Possibly to allow cable with connector entry???
I'd appreciate and be gratefull for any comment/advice anyone may have :y :y

I bet someone drilled it because the scuttle was full of water ;)

I'd rub down, treat and paint it then leave alone as an extra drain ;)

If that's the n/s drain, wont the hole be through the bulkhead into the passenger side cabin :-\

I can't find a picture that's as clear as yours Cliffo, so can't confirm if its standard or not without clearing the car of snow.

Looks like there was a bung in it some stage though.

So it's agreed it should'nt be there :y
Just can't get my hand into the scuttle
I'll derust it and anti rust treat then fit a grommet from the cabin side
Should be OK to do when I fit my other HU/CID and Nokia HFU-2 in cabin phone unit when the weather gets warmer
Thanks all  :y
Good to know such A1 help is there when you need it

Summat else is fitted I can't figure out I'll post a pic shortly
At last seem to have the pic posting prob beat ;D ::) :y
