Sorry for the bad picture, you can see one hole on the left and there's another on the right but a little lower. Pete

Mitch//pa · 09-13-2015, 04:52 PM

The through hole on the left is a no, the dimple on the right is a no. There should be about a 1/2" hole on the left as we face it. On a down diagonal from the name plate lower left hole, and a 1/4" hole at the extreme right lower corner. From my March 29' RPU. I think this is accurate. Other RPU owners please confirm.

So I do need to fill the two holes
In?

Yes, the hole on the edge of the V needs to be filled and the dent on the driver's side needs to be removed. I hope that hole isn't a bullet hole into the gas tank.

Some tanks did not have that 1/2" hole on the left as we face it...Some did...However when the Vaccume wipers came out, olny then did they start appearing on all tanks. There should not be a 1/4" inch hole at the extreme right lower corner (as we are facing it in the photo).
