Denis,

I cannot agree that cutting holes in the bodywork to make things 'easier' is such a good idea on a Pagoda.  To do so will spoil the cars originality.

Most people try to keep things as original as possible or get them back to original from previous owners actions.

A suction gun works perfect for this job without drilling a hole in the floor ???
