Thanks Rich! I never thought to look in the workshop manual. Actually
I am the one that drilled them out and should have known they were

Now that I looked in the bodywork section I realize that my Healey
will never be a concours car; I can't find "Stripolene 799, Howarth
Blue Twill or Deoxidine 125" to properly prepare the metal! :-)
