Drainage holes

[Pinto Boy]

After the second day of having to bail out the Westie before I could drive it I've decided to drill some drainage holes.

Has anyone else done this? Is there any more to it that just drilling a few small holes?

[Mark Stanton]

A hole or two in each cockpit ali floor are just fine      

[scott beeland]

Hole in each corner of panels should sort it

[pistonbroke]

dont forget the to fit a sink plug in each      

[oioi]

i have holes, but i thought they were a weight saving measure    

[mad lon]

On the whole there's a hole

[Blatman]

Hole in each corner of panels should sort it

Seconded...

[mrblondie]

... on the weight saving train of thought ....

..... is it better to have lots of small holes ...or less bigger ones ?????

[Rob Navin]

lots of big holes unless they are in load bearing areas

[oioi]

actually i used this stuff for my panelling

very light weight (lighter than carbon! and it also has very good drainage properties.

can be draughty in winter tho

hth

OiOi

ps I must cut my nails...

[Pinto Boy]

Is the floor panel actually load bearing - apart from me - and is a floor required for the MOT?

It'd be a b******* if you drop something and might be a little distracting but also quite cool. Until the engine bay catches fire then it'll be quite hot

You shouldnt have any problems cutting a few 6mm holes in you foot well.

I have a couple under my seats with no problems.

[pistonbroke]

There's something in the MOT regs about holes being within a certain distance of load bearing members !

Don't know if this applies to the Westfield
