pyntre Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Any one have an idea what this "gage hole" is on the bottom of this picture ? What's it for ? Just a gee whizzer on a -18 below morning .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgun Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I think it's a left over from manufacturing. I think it's a register mark for the center of the floor pan, or possibly the whole body shell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abandg Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 It looks like the seat belt location for front seat bolt. Maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably used as an alignment location when the car was being built either for some other assembly or for the actually floor pan pieces themselves. Is there a cross-member or some kind of bracing underneath that spot? At least that makes the most sense unless someone knows for sure what it is for.

pyntre Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 I looked up "gage " in the dictionary , it's sort of old English for "gauge" and you fellas are right ,it's a term for measuring or estimating . So maybe a production constant for assembly ... funny it's in the assembly manual ! Thanks for the thoughts !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showing the gage hole with a plug probably means that when do you see it, you're not to assume that its meant for use. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
