I?d guess (only) that those four holes ? two at each corner, right? ? were for
the attachment of a luggage rack. There was/is a rack that was attached via the
boot hinge pins and by screwing triangular mounting plates onto the bottom
corners. I?ve got one?.it?s a decent enough thing.
I?m surprised that one fits repair patch panels to a boot lid. Doesn?t one just
fit a new one?

Subject: [Healeys] Are these holes original?
67 BJ8 (late), currently undergoing bodywork before paint.
There appears to be 2 drainage holes on the bottom corners of the trunk lid -
but as the Moss replacement patch panel doesn't have them I don't know if the
holes were there originally, or if they are there as a function of previous
bodywork.
Pardon the poor picture - hopefully you get the idea.
Thanks in advance,
Neil
