Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #181 – August 10, 2021, 04:29:54 PM Could it be the metal bung used on the floor pan?If so, i'm going to guess the one that allows access to the rear wishbone captive nut.
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #184 – August 11, 2021, 09:48:41 AM I assumed it was one of the floor bungs but didn't know which from where.
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #187 – August 11, 2021, 10:24:32 AM Thought you'd all quickly see what it was, so to make things a little harder want to know as specific a location as possible rather than a general area...

Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #190 – August 11, 2021, 12:11:17 PM I'll give you some clues - this particular one was painted in a brown primer originally, you're seeing it cleaned up.May look like aluminium in the photo's, but it's thin steel.

Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #192 – August 11, 2021, 12:50:51 PM Spot on, well done - Were you just out in the rain, pulling up the carpet?
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #193 – August 11, 2021, 12:53:20 PM Funny, that was my very first thought. As I haven't really studied the floor that much or worried about stripping the underseal or anything but that is the one that just sticks in my mind. I know it's there, whereas I can't actually tell you where there might be any others.
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #194 – August 11, 2021, 12:59:31 PM I think that's probably why you over look them, likely see them all the time when your working below carpet level but not something you'd take an interest in until you need to remove it.This one was covered in bitument underseal then body coloured paint as well which had masked most of the contours.I'd it out so as to be able to extinguish welding fires when doing the unofficial jacking stub behind the drivers side wheel arch.It's actually an empty void, though it extends along the sill and up the bulkhead. Under normal circumstances you'd never see it off, I'm guessing it was to allow waxing at the factory, there's no other reason to be in there.
