Im sure you will all know where Im talking about...the bit there the motor stalk spline thing pokes thru.
Im assuming its because there is no-where for the water to go when it rains.
So, would it be safe to buzz a tiny 1 or 2mm hole at the lowest point and obviously seal it correctly after?
Mines only just starting to show, but would rather sort it now!

Or is it a twattish idea and shall I just treat the rust normally??

Comments/abuse welcome!!

 

don't think thats a good idea, imho it would aggrivate the rust problem. water should clear from there as soon as the car starts moving.

 

i thought mine were rusting but on closer inspection it was the washer that was rusting causing surface rust so a new washer some tcut and i was fine!

 

ya, the washers are still available for them from ford, got a full set of them last year, cheap too.

 

Trouble is, the car might not move for 2 weeks at a time. And with winter approaching, I really dont want water sitting there!
