Found a rust-hole inthe floor - easier than playing Where's Wally.
It's just above the jacking-point(?) by the sill. About 2" X 1"

That's what I've been doing for the last couple of days

Today I removed the fuel tank that suffered a slight vacuum experience.
Cap got blocked, and the fuel pump managed to rather successfully suck the bottom of the tank in...
.. also sucked the top in..
.. so good thing I had a spare to paint and fit..
All good fun.

Me?
I'd have sealed the openings and used compessed air to 'pop' the tank back into shape!
