Hi folks,

I’ve had a look and only found a few references to drilling drain holes under the skirts. Well, I’ve bought some off Mariusz a fair while back but not put them on yet. Can anyone advise me where is best to drill some drain holes through their experience? Also, how many, what size & whereabouts is best to locate them?

If you can help me with this I’d be really, really grateful thumb

Hi Mark
I'd start by putting the skirts on a temporary in position and use a spirit level to see how they sit. If you got them from Auto ds then they would be fiberglass so obviously won't rust.just stone chip paint any drill holes in the metal your attaching it to unless you are bonding them in place. Repaint the black sills first.

Hi mate, thanks very much for your reply. Yes, I got the Autods ones. They’ve been colour matched. I’ll bond them, I just heard people saying they’ve drilled drainage holes so it minimises how much water & moisture is near the body.

Thanks again for your help fella thumb
