[Healeys] Rear bulkhead fittings

[healeyguy at aol.com]

I just checked the BN4 under restoration in the garage. The welded nuts in the
rear bulkhead, slightly outside and below the tank strap brackets, are 10/32
thread and this car had a wire loom clip fastened to each welded nut on the
axle side of the bulkhead.  No wires, just the clips. Being that the size of
the welded nut is so small I can not see that they would have been used for
anything other than wiring.

I don't know for sure,but think perhaps, in a past configuration, those 2
3/16" captive nuts may have been used for a crossroad steady as on the
iff.(?).

 I've looked at a lot of restoration photos, and those two captive nuts
 never seem to have anything in them. Are they vestigal? (Evidence that
 BJ8's evolved from BN1's?!)

 Thanks,
