Mk 1 sill rustproofing ?
Having just had my sills and jacking points welded, I want to rustproof the inside of my sills. Am I causing MOT problems by drilling 10mm holes in the sills so that I can spray rustproofing materials in there with a 360 degree spray, then fit rubber blanking grommets, so that I can repeat the process each year or so? It's the sort of thing we used to do back in the 70's when box sections started to replace solid chassis. If I keep 300mm away from structural points, should I be ok???

Use the drain holes already there also, take off the jacking pads, clean & spray inside, from the top, take off the chrome kick trim & spray inside

I wouldn't of thought so , if in a neutral plane its not seriously weakening it. , but you could put holes on the inside, under the finisher, then they couldn't be seen.

The worst areas are just in front of the rear wheel, dirt collects in a void behind the liner & festers, causing rust from the inside

Just make sure the existing drain holes are clear and use them.

I have Waxoiled every two years using existing holes and jack pad recesses. provided the oil is warmed and good pressure is it gets everywhere!
