[alfa] Duetto-Rear Valance Drain holes



Hi all,

I'm in the process of prepping the Duetto for rustproofing.    I've been
clearing all panel drain holes but found only two drain holes in the bottom of
the rear panelwork.  There is one largish hole at the rear of each wheel arch,
and I'm wondering if there are meant to be more drains in the centre section
(below the number plate) ?  Or, will the centre section drain to the outer two
holes ?

Once I've finished the rustproofing I'll post pics (somewhere) of the task.
So far I've cut (big) holes in the sills and rear false floor, and
blown/vacuumed-out almost 2 gallons of old rust flakes and blasting sand from
all over the car.  There was sand up to 5" deep in the rear flanks.  Luckily
it seems to have remained dry and not corroded things too badly.  I also found
a host of extra hardware, a few sockets, and a 2-piece jacking handle lurking
in the rear panels !!!
