Holes

[Rick007]

Hello Forum ,

Can anyone tell me why , after studying several enginebay photo's , i see the holes in the inside wheelarch , near the fendertopside
on one car are on both sides and on the other car only ( as on mine ) on the left handside . Is this normal or should they be there on both sides ?
Like to be shore before i start drilling ...

Hi Rick,

My right internal fender (280SL1970) had no holes and was original because it was good spot welded as original.(see the picture in appendix, even with the big structure unwelded, you don't see the holes which are supposed to go in this big strcuture to alow the lubricant to go for corrosion prevention).
I don't now exactly when they stop to make holes.
When I ordered one brand new inner fender in MB, the one I received was with holes.

I hope this will help.

Best regards.

Ok so on both sides then , makes sense .
And Vincent , i can see why the cavitywax should go in there ....and i thought my car was bad .

Thanks !
