LHD.

I can only think the vents were something to do with the auxiliary heater in the smugglers box

Ok, strange. I have some drill holes in the smugglers box but unsure what they were for?

Two small and one bigger hole

Thanks Lee

Mines the same, the larger hole has gromet and wires for the electric fuel pump, my cars mfi. Jason.

Perfect thanks mate

Incredible. Learn something new everyday.
What are the louvres for? Why don't RHD's need them?

I think as Gary said earlier, led could have the aux heater fired in the smugglers box and vents needed for the petrol fireded heater.
Rhd cars never had the box, pedals needed the space.
Seems to me a fussy mod to do by the factory but water can ingress through the vents and fill the pedal box assembly.
Happens on my lad converted car which still has the vents open.

Wonder why the Factory didn't just use seam sealer (or something similar) ...

Indeed, the spot welds look very tacked on to me, an after thought?

I keep finding different holes on my car, it’s hard to work out what they were for ?

App all your comments it’s very interesting

I'd say this is air con based upon the pipes etc. I believe it's in a 1967 911R. Maybe this uses those holes?

Hello,

I’m after some advice, I’ve been told a 69t should be black inside the engine compartment and front boot area.

The problem I have is when I’ve scratched the black paint I find the original light ivory colour underneath?

The car is early October build and one of the first batch RHD cars for 69MY.

Could it been prayed body colour?

Lee - the black paint under the bonnet & in the engine compartment was added over the top of the body colour.

I seem to remember it was brush-painted originally & after a few years of 'wear & tear' the body colour started to show through in certain areas ...
