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"

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...

.. so good thing I had a spare to paint and fit..

All good fun.

I'd have sealed the openings and used compessed air to 'pop' the tank back into shape! :-D
