Post subject:	Threaded holes in sill panel.
Greetings all. Finally started on my wifes Cooper today. (Been too hot this week!) Anyhow, I have the usual spot of rust each end of sill panel. Easy cut n weld new sheet in. I am curious as to the 3/8" threaded holes each end (about 2" in from ends) Theres an inner bracket holding nuts in place. what were these for. Is it possibly a body tiedown point (s)? Seems like a point to let sludge in, I was thinking maybe put a bolt n washer in them. Any idea why their there? Alex.

It was for bolting them to a jig on the production line.

The clearest photos I can find online... I know they are not Mini but it shows how things were done at Zetland.

Thanks again Morris 1100. Great pics. love that ole stuff. Got one sill ready to weld up. Funny thing, I blew out all the dust from one end to another and found a 1950 Penny in the sill. Must have been someones lunch money at Zetland Ha! Cheers Alex.

Kingsley. Ya right there! It was pretty "gungie" and I was thinking, is that a 5 or a 3!!! My missus googled it and depending on a mint marking, it's worth a few dollars, or a Penny! Has King George V1 on it. Hopefully the other sill has some 'deposits" Ha! Alex.
