[Healeys] Rear bulkhead fittings

[I Erbs]

I explored this with Rich Chrysler. Some of the holes where for the
aligning tool used when the welded the panel. I used rubber buttons that
pushed into the holes to seal them . Iooks like smaller versions of the
rubber stops at bottom edge of rear cowl where boot lid closes.
