Does anyone know the purpose of the sheet metal disc, about the size of a half dollar, that I found under pedal box in my 1975 1.8? I've seen reference to it here only once before, but no no said why these are found in some cars at least.
Thanks, Lloyd Keigwin |

I think you are referring to the welding access holes in the chassis...
in the rear trunk too. for the long arms of a spot welder to reach through the hole and allow access for the spot welding |

They were there to lock the panel to the jig during assembly. Once all the welding was done, then the lock cam in the jig was turned to release the newly built body. This has been verified by a video of the 356 bodies being assembled. Same exact holes in the body. |
