Got a couple of real mysteries here:
1) Oil pans on the 6-cyl cars--don't know about the 100s--have a small,
er, something--tab?--spot-welded on the inside bottom in front of the
baffle. I can't for the life of me think of any (obvious) purpose for
this but, as usual, there must be a reason else BMC accountants wouldn't
have allowed an extra half-quid in parts and labor to install it
(attached photo 1). Guesses?
2) The pans all have a fairly large 'dimple,' for lack of a better term
punched in the front on the left-hand side (photo 2). All I can think of
is it must have something to do with the way the pans were stamped, as
they appear to be made from a single piece of sheet metal. I think if
it's for reinforcement, why not a couple or, better yet, one at each
corner. Any guesses?
