Ok I had my car media blasted and found something very interesting. On both sides of the floor board and one under the foot pedals there are round impressions with a half moon shape cut into them, total of five. Is this from the factory? What was their thought process on that? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Thinking of welding them up.
Thanks in advance Al  |

Indeed, these cut outs have been the subject of many discussions on 911 forums. Many folks believe they were intended to allow drainage after the parts were dip-primered, but Clay's body jig explanation also makes sense for the large holes. The openings were later sealed with bitumen on the inside and body schutz on the outside, so they were never intended to be open on a finished car.
Here's a NOS 911 floor pan with similar punch-outs. Attached image(s)
