1970 - what's in this hole?

Post by RobFrost »

What's inside this hole behind the bonnet latch? I'm sending these to envirostrip but there seems to be a fibrous material in here which I assume is going to be dissolved. Is this gonna cause me any problems, like is it holding the captive nuts in place?

I'm looking for a pre-impact bumper 911S or other high-revving 911 to restore - please let me know if you see one.

I see what it's for but it's lined with a black fibrous material. Is that material doing anything important?

It’s in there to trap moisture and not much else
