VW bug’s lower fire wall member continued 5 #144

Once I located the two remaining motor mount bolt holes in the VW bug rear cross member, I drilled them out. I will be using a couple of heavy wall steel tubes to act as anti-crush sleeves. I drilled out one side to fit the OD of the tubes and the other side to fit the OD of the bolts. I also recessed the larger holes a bit to be able to get more weld on them. This will allow me to torque down the MR2 motor mount bolts without crushing my rear cross member.
