Richard every frame that I have seen or had to any work on{ over 20 plus in 40 years } has these holes and nothing ever been seen in them, they all have them , good question ? Bob

Thanks Bob - good to know nothings missing.  Perhaps they were a tooling hole for holding position during manufacturing.

Rich, I am impressed with your determination!  I suppose you are going to use a TIG torch to weld in your repaired frame pieces?  I have had to do similar work in saving a 1912 Ford "T" frame that you are doing to your DB.  I also did the riveting and got to where I am very happy with the end results.  Patience with the fit up, correct length rivet and heat rightly applied makes the process OK.  I like having an extra set of hands and eyes, hands to take the torch after heating and eyes to make sure everything is in order as I do the grunt work of setting the rivet.  Keep up the good work and updates.
