Zerrari GTO Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I've got my car down to the bare shell now and have started stripping and sanding the front end. My question is-are there any brackets I should save in the engine bay? The only ones I see that I know I will use is for the windshield washer fluid bottle and throttle cable. I want to keep the engine bay as clean and simple as possible so if I don't need it I don't want it. Also, what type of body filler should I use to cover unused screw holes in the engine bay? Thanks for any help I can get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DiZeased_240 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 You should weld the unused screw holes and grind them flush to the panel. Body filler will not hold and will eventually crack and fall out. Filler is not meant for filling holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COZY Z COLE Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 My 2 cents is to leave them alone for now. In the 1+ year since I pulled the old engine I've done 4 or 5 differernt add or remove of set-ups and was glad to have open screw holes.

Guest 305240 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Another idea is put a screw and bolt in the holes, tighten them down, then grind the tops off of them. If you ever want to use them again, just finish taking them out from the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
