MG T-ABC

I'm working on my TA upper firewall, trying to identify holes that belong, and holes that don't belong there. I want to plug weld the non-original holes before proceeding with the restoration of the body.

I have identified most of the original and non-original holes in this photo of the front of the tool box.

I have a pair of unidentified holes at 1-5/8" spacing (40mm) on the right front of the tool box, and another pair at 3-1/2" spacing (88mm) on the left front of the tool box.

Can anyone say whether they are original or not, and if original, maybe suggest what they might be for?

Rob,
I don't believe those holes you've marked are original to the TA.
Best regards,

This extract from 'T Series Restoration Guide' by Malcolm Green would appear to confirm.....

Ok thanks Bill and Anti. With these early cars it is good to see what other cars have and get other people's experiences.
I will plug weld those extraneous holes.

I have that Malcolm Green book and used it to confirm many of my holes, although he shows only one hole for Bracket for Fuel Tap and I learned that early TAs with one type of valve had 2 there for the original bracket, where later TAs with another type of valve had 4 there, the original 2 and 2 more for a new bracket. I had 7 there.
