And probably other versions too !
I decided to dump a mag mount dab antenna on the van until I have finished experimenting
From past experience I knew the easiest way to get the antenna cable across to the radio was simply bight the bullet and drop off the bottom half of the dash ( glove box and its surround )
This I did.. and am I glad I did !
Lifted the bonnet and started looking where I could get a cable through the bulk head..
Then I saw it.. Because the bottom of the dash was off and the passenger door was open, the inside of the bulk head was well lit.
I found a hole ( original, as it had nice Fiat edging on it ) about 2.5" x 1.5" right over on the left hand side close to the top ( looking from the bonnet side, top top behind the fuel filter )
I have NO idea what it is meant for, and there is no matching hole on the drivers side.. All that was run through it was a single wire !
I have never seen that particular hole mentioned before................
Hole duly blocked up... No doubt there are still loadsa gaps and holes around, but that, along with the stupid vent things under the seats, the vents actually in the sides of the doors, has dealt with the major ones ! ( I think )
