    What are the holes in this picture for?
    « on: January 07, 2012 - 07:38:17 PM »
    I was working in the trunk for the fuel filler and noticed these holes below the screwdriver. I have no memory of what they're for. Any thoughts/pictures?

    Thanks

    That's right. I ran across that part recently and couldn't remember what it was for but it looked familiar.

    Thanks a lot.

    Well the spot is on the other side but there are no holes. May have to make some when I get around to the exhaust.

    Did you have the trunk pan replaced on that side before?  Do the replacements come with holes?  :clueless:

    Nope the floor wasn't replaced. It was a 318 car so it probably originally had a single exhaust.

    That was my second thought but it looked like your car was an R/T....

    If your car was a 318, then it should've had at least 2 holes on the passenger side in the trunk for the bracket.

    Regardless of the eshaust system it came with.

    I agree .... my car was originally a 318 car .... holes on the right only and the stampings for the other holes I believe were there.   We just drilled them out .... same location, but on the driver side.   Now have plates on both sides to hand the tail pipes (without resonators).
