Paddy_SP Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I'm about to fab up a new chassis mid-crossmember as mine is like papier maché (it's the one that sits at the front end of the rear floor). It has four bolt holes - two on each side, just inboard of the vertical brackets - inboard of those, however, on each side is also a 3/4" hole (as per the arrow in the attached image)... I'd be most grateful if anyone here would be kind enough to let me know what these are for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballcock Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I can't remember using them for anything when rebuilding mine. I can check later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 most likely those are tooling holes when the metal is folded in the press tool at the factory, nothing else fits in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy_SP Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Superb - many thanks - I'll have to put some holes in for the galvansing, but they won't want to be located there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 my galvanised one from YRM has those holes in it on the top & bottom surfaces. http://www.yrm-metal-solutions.co.uk/epages/BT4822.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/BT4822/Products/053A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
