Re: Old Air firewall cover plate problem
Just remembered I have a thick piece of dense foam that I'll try trimming to fit, and use it as a plug. If that doesn't work, I'll order some new seals. I did this in the past on another truck, and it was a PITA drilling out the rivets. But either way will leave the kick panel unmolested for some future owner, probably my son.
I'm not too happy with where the condensation drain hose exits, compared to my old V/A system. Gotta double check my center punch mark and then drill the 1-1/4" hole today. Bought a cheap step drill bit on Amazon because my USA-made Irwin drill set only goes to 7/8".
