Bit hard to know what you're looking at.

There's a grommet for the heater hoses just below (and slightly off to the side) of the wiper motor.

Ooops - there is a picture. Just took a while to load & didn't see it.

The one on the left is for the choke cable. I'll get back to you on the other. Never noticed it before.

Hey Tim, why do some some cars have this hole & some don't?

Yeah, that's what I thought, but I'm pretty sure I've seen pics of EK's that have the hole. Maybe it's one of those carry-over things :think: but my Cameo is an early build and doesn't have a hole there.

I'm sure you're right, but I still need to satisfy my curiosity about the mystery hole :?
