Door Drain Holes

Hi,

The bottom of the doors in my 1931 82-B cab do not have drain holes.

Can someone help me with a picture of where they should be so I can locate them and open them up?

My doors are already painted so don't want poke around to find the holes too much.

Dave

Here is a not to good picture of the door bottom. The holes are about 5/16" maybe a little bigger.

Thanks Bob.

So they are just 3@ 5/16" round holes.

Looks like they are right in the corner where the horizontal surface meets the vertical surface.

I went and measured the holes and they are just a hair under 3/8".

I had to look that up. Found that darker hair is usually thinker so I guess red would be around .00375.

Bob,

Could I trouble you (or anyone else) to measure how far in the holes are from the vertical edge of the door please.

Thanks,
Dave
