Send me the distance between the 2 mystery holes and I?ll compare to my luggage 
rack/my boot lid.

The only holes along the bottom edge of the trunk lip are for the rivits that 
attach shroud to the chassis lip. And the 3 buffers.  If there was a drain hole 
it would drain into the trunk.

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?

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
