These two holes are beneath the driver's seat, and I'm pretty sure they have something to do with the gas tank that I will no longer be housing there, so I'm going to plug them.
Just a wee bit of scaly corrosion here. Once the tub is on the chassis, I'll be sanding this down to clean metal, which I'm hoping is under there somewhere.
I cut a patch out of 18 gauge steel, taking the time to get it to fit well.
A few tack welds to hold it in place so that I can pull the magnets. (I've left them on a little too long a few times, which melted the metal in the magnet just a bit.)
Welded in and ground smooth to find the pinholes.
The backside. Not awful welds.
More welds on the front to seal it up tight. Also, I've cut a new patch for the smaller hole.
Here's the mini-patch from the underside.
The smaller patch welded in. It has better welds that the bigger one.
