Holes in Floor?

[testa-rossa]

I'm in the process of replacing my carpets and I noticed that there are 4 holes drilled into the passenger foot well. I noticed it because the sound deadening material is starting to break away. Is this normal?

No.

Not normal. Looked at a 79 sc and it had the same type of holes on the passenger side and 2 or 4 eye loops on the driver side. He said a PO had raced it and they were from a racing harness of some type.

not a safe harness...

sand off any burrs, prime/paint & stick some dum dum in there before putting down the damener

on the ext., recoat with undercoating over the protruding dum dum

So, what's the best way to fill them in? what is dum dum?

Dum dum is a putty-like stuff that is used in places like the window corners. It is sorta like plumber's putty -- doesn't dry out and is more sticky.

aka strip caulk - 3M makes it - any FLAPS

Home Depot in the electrical section. Used after you drill a hole in a stud and feed wire thru.
