hobson Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I'm waxoyling our 110 this weekend, just done the first 'fun' day under it with the steam cleaner/brushes/air line etc, but noticed the holes already drilled in the underneath low points don't quite allow for good drainage ie, they block easily with sludge. now the current holes are 10mm and 12mm, how much bigger can i go without causing anything to weaken?

M&S Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 It doesn't matter what size they are, they all block anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobson Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 Hmmm, they are a sod for blocking, but surely a 20 or even 30mm hole would allow sufficient drainage for pretty much anything? i just don't want to drill big holes and then find a crack or worse down the line! I'm not talking about loads of big holes, just widening the ones in the lowest points... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&S Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 For a while maybe. Remember, the bigger the hole the more can get in as well. I regularly find all sorts of stuff, brick, stone, gravel, sand, mud, jammed in places you'd never expect Bigger holes means bigger bits can get stuck in them.

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 On mine - and on a trayback I did I drilled out the hole and fitted a BIG nutwhich I welded in upside down flush with chassis base, big enough so when the bolts are removed you can get a hose pipe in there, when not having a hose pipe up there the bolt is shoved in, and it has a 5mm hole right through it for draining Best of both worlds http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=51705&view=findpost&p=466682 Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
