Do we bung the hole or not
I of course refer to the end hole in the rear end of the chassis lower rail on a Indy.
Do we bung up or leave to breathe?
Your opinions will be helpful.
Steve.

never leave it open, you'll get moisture inside and it will rot from both ends. Id silicone a stopped in. On my own constuctions i mitre the
corners, no holes, no stops and the option of sticking oil inside several tubes at once if you want.

Thanks folks. As I thought, I will give it a blast of waxoil before I seal it.
Cheers.

if you bung it and there is a small hole somewhere moisture can be forced in by air pressure around the hole when traveling at speed and not be able
to get out tho ....
wy not leave it open and pump the chassis full of clear waxoyl

Desks and tables at work mate. Get searching and fold up a bit of card to put under so nobody notices it rocking. They do them in BnQ aswell but
why buy when u can have one for free. Silicoon them in. Theyl seal a treat.

Don't ever "fill" the tubes with waxoyl !
You'd be suprised how hot the chassis tubes get, especially near the engine. The waxoyl heats up and runs out of every rivet hole and orifice
and then dries. It's a bugger to clean off.
Speaking from experience and on behalf of a few other who have done the same.

A quick light spray is a good idea - just don't "fill the tubes".

Hi,everytime I drilled a hole in my chassis it got the waxoyl aerosol and thin tube stuffed in and I gave everything internally a good blast.
Smells lovelly coming out of the top engine bay tube rivet holes just above the exhaust It does help to spread it around though.
A rag with thinners wipes it off no problem,does smell at first though
I've seen a few old kit cars with rotten tubes,including a Cateringvan.Better to use waxoyl than not i'd say,its up to you.
Once I've finished a project why do I start another?
