[Healeys] Are these holes original?

[Charlie Schott]

Here is what mine looks like. I believe that I got the luggage rack from British Victoria.

Regards,

Charlie Schott

I'd like to see a photo of how the luggage rack attaches

  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
