Hi all,
I have in 2 of mine original MA bodies in rear panel 2 holes passing thrugh the rear panel support. I also could see on original pics there is bolt visisble (are bolts) in the rear panel. What were the holes/bolts in the rear panel for?
Next I could see, most (all???) of the restored MA's in USA do not have these holes/bolts in the rear panel.
Pls. see attached pics.
Every commet welcome!
Lad.

Great observation! Looks like you found something most MA restorations missed! Attached are some photos I found confirming the two bolts in the MA rear panel.
I assume these are the 2 bolts in body group 1800, page 73, p/n 6660? Possibly these 2 bolts are for additional strengthening of the horizontal and vertical channel supports for the rear panel to support the weight of the spare tire? On page 75 the horizontal channels are called “spare tire carrier strainers” with wood filler.

Re: MA rear panel bolts
Question for both George and Ladislav. Are the bolts on the MA the same TR20 that is found on slatgrills?
