marki Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hi Justin. Can you post some pictures once you've got the holes drilled. I'm yet to get under mine but I'm pretty sure it looks the same as yours. Good luck, Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Hi Justin, ref the first pic - there appears t be a slot half way along the lower edge just where a hole should be. Have you actually got the holes but they are bunged up with sealant. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have you actually got the holes but they are bunged up with sealant. Roger No I think its had a right angle piece put in all the way front to back, you can see a seam along the underside of the floor a couple of inches in. Whoever did it did a good job just a shame they didnt introduce any drain holes or swaged in slots. On original 4/4a inner sills BTW there isnt any slotted holes in the top so if your going in from there you will need to drill some Stuart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kob666e Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Whoever did it did a good job just a shame they didnt introduce any drain holes or swaged in slots. Stuart. TRBitz....... Maybe they were relying on the capitive nuts for the lower wing mountings to allow water to escape when I brake and floor it?! I've one 16mm hole drilled into the side of the sill under the carpet in line with the front of the front seats, I have about 2' of pipe on my wax gun so should be able to reach both end caps from there.

Charlie D Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 All,Is it my imagination, but when Waxoyl was known as “Finnegans waxoyl” didn’t they used to claim that you could spray it on your apple trees to kill green fly?If so how did they make such discovery?(This is a serious question --- I’m not mad…)Charlie D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stillp Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 All, Is it my imagination, but when Waxoyl was known as “Finnegans waxoyl” didn’t they used to claim that you could spray it on your apple trees to kill green fly? If so how did they make such discovery? (This is a serious question --- I’m not mad…) Charlie D No, it was woolly aphid. Gardeners have used grease and similar since Victorian times (possibly longer) to kill the little beasties by suffocating them, so it's a fair bet that Waxoyl would do the same.

Charlie D Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Pete, Thanks for that! "Woolly aphid" not "Green fly". Nice to know my memory is still (almost) OK. So not only will your TR not go rusty, it will also not suffer from a woolly aphid attack. Charlie D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stillp Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Yes, comforting to know isn't it. I must TRy it on my apple tree sometime. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
