Boot Floor Hole Size

[caveman]

Can anyone tell me the correct diameter of the holes in the boot floor that the pins drop through?
I don’t have these currently and may solve my floor rattles once the parts arrive from Moss (some parts on back order).
Also, do both rear boards (fuel tank & spare wheel) have the securing bracket at bumper end? I have one bracket on spare wheel board only and looking to finish both boards but not a lot of photos of underside of boards found so far.

Hi Steve,
The two holes in the body cross frame are 5/8 inch diameter.
These holes allow the special shaped Stud, (BD.10958) fitted on both cover boards to pass through and for the round head on the Stud to lock into the clips below the hole. On my car these clips are riveted, but I’m unsure if that was how they were originally.
Both cover boards have the Spring Clip, (BD.28138) at the rear to engage with the body.
I attach some photos of the covers from my car which have been re-covered, but I believe use the original fittings. Looking at them, I need to sort out some of the paint chips on the cross frame in the winter lay up !











I trust this assists.
Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,

A gentleman! That’s perfect and very much appreciated.
Always nice to have a little something to do during the winter lay-up.
