Filling Body holes

Lawfs · Feb 9, 2020

Hi, removed the rear bench seats out of my 110 station wagon today and was wondering what was the best way to fill all the existing holes in the body from the fixings. cheers

Simple quick way is to plug them with blank rubber grommet. Find different sizes on the fleabay.

Cheers, wasn’t sure to grommet it or somehow attempt to fill it, as it’s off for a full chassis seal soon.

You can also get some headed rubber plugs, used on my 90... this kind of thing:

Lawfs, your other option...and especially if taking body off for a chassis rebuild...is to buy a small sheet of aluminium of correct gauge + an alloy/aluminium brazing kit and braze with a map gas cylinder from a Rothenburger Superfire Pro torch head. Then buzz back and you'll have a perfect body repair. The braze process is also structurally very strong. I've used aluminium brazing rods on all sorts of applications over the years, they're great...

Silicone. Easy out if you want to put back seats.

If not being flush is ok, just put the bolts back in with the washers, but not the seats.
