I can't seem to be able to open the attachment but from the description you are
referring to the vertical front inner splash shield (closing) panels, held on
by 6 or 7 1/4 inch fasteners?
The splash panel is supposed to be sealed.
There is an indentation in the bottom edge of the fender to provide drainage
for the water that leaks in from above, the rear outer corners of the bonnet
opening. They are supposed to be sealed, they never are.
On several that I have done, I've welded the corners solid & then drilled a
hole & welded a nipple on the bottom, sort of formed a "funnel" under those low
points, and plumbed it directly down through the sill. That catches all of the
water from the top low points.
With that, and the front closing panels sealed, water can't get in.

Subject: [Fot] TR6 splash guard question
Guys,
Need some help. I am in the process of stripping a TR6 tub for priming. I am
in the process of removing the undercoating in the fender wells to address some
minor corrosion. I noticed that both splash guards have what appears to be a
drainage hole that leaves a path for water to go from the behind the splash
guard to the fender well area. I was wondering should this be left open or
sealed off? See attached pdf for pictures.
Thanks,
Greg
