Rob,
Good answer. The valve stem hole is opposite the holes and that is where the weld line is. Have never noticed these holes on any other auto rim. Maybe other manufacturers fill in the holes.
Thanks for the replies

Rob,
Absolutely right. The valve stem hole is opposite the holes and that is where the weld is. Wonder if all rims are made this way. Have never noticed the holes any any other automobile rims. Will have to look at some other rims from different autos.
Thanks, That answers my question.

The only reason I ask is , every mm rim I have has these two holes. I have rims from different autos that have these holes. I assume they are factory.

Does anyone know why there are holes at the edge of the rim. Were the for hanging during painting?

Sorry forgot to attach pics to last post.

The one I have has no markings.
It is off a 51.
Did they all have markings?

The car is a 51 and was a basket case when I purchased it. They seem to be body color. That is why I'm asking.
Thanks for all the replies

Are the semaphore body color or stainless

Thanks for the color . I have Humbrol 14 in the basement.

What color is the emblem blue or red. I have found 2 pics with 2 different colors?

Door panels are beige as all mm seats and panels are that color. Carpet is a dark green.

The interior is beige seats and the exterior is green, therefore the draught excluder I assume should be green.
Doug

What color is the door draught excluder on a 51 mm and is there suppose to be a rubber boot over the dip switch. The connections are under the floorboard?

Thanks
Doug

On my 65 they are flat black. On the 52 they are silver. If silver is incorrect I will paint them flat black.
Thanks for the reply
Doug

What color are the boards in the boot painted on a 52 mm. Are they black or silver.

Is this painted body color or is it chromed.

Any way of getting a pic

thanks,
Doug hicks

Are the semaphores held in with a taper headed screw or is there a washer between the screw and body.

I'd have to say mine never had the surround. I assume the rubber hides the frame.
Thanks,Doug

I'am attaching a couple of pics. Do clips snap on to the inner frame to accommodate the screws?
