Art.
This is the detailed answer I have been looking for.
It is a direct match with other observant ForwardLookers Owen Grigg and good friend Ed Eckerson,
whose dimensions match these that you have supplied exactly.
Right down to the fact that the first hole closest to the fender is a straight drilled hole of a
larger diameter, and not flared
Just 1 more question before I go to work on my rocker drains-where you mention that the flared holes
are positioned "outboard 7/8 inches from the flange"...are you talking about the edge of the hole or
the centre of the hole, and the "flange" you are talking about is the 90 degree return of rocker
metal that points straight down to the ground?
This is awesome detective work Art, and I truly appreciate it.
Thanks again!
Glenn.
