Thats all I have mate, so what I will do is weld next to them for a 1" then move them on round if you see what I mean.

How do you get the holes sunk like that, are they punch out or something ?

Really does make it look professional, instead of just plain holes.

I had so much planned to get done today, but as me and the Mrs went out last night for a few beers *tongue* So i had a late start and I recruited Jo to help me. As she started stripping the interior out and giving it a good hoover out, I got a little bit done in the eng bay and now all of the brake and clutch lines have been mapped out.

I sacked it as working on the car with a Empty Head is not fun. *oh well*
