I have 4 square holes in the horizontal piece of the bulkhead that get removable cage nuts put in them. There are 2 on each side of the battery box. Do I need to put a bolt into all 4 of them and that's it, or is there something else that needs done? Also in the passenger side footwell there are 4 welded cage nuts that have nothing in them, and I don't see anything that mounts to them. Do I put 4 bolts in them and call it good. I know some of the holes are used for right hand drive cars, but I see no use for any of these holes.

Those useless looking square holes were for body jigs used to assemble the tub.
Circular rubber blanking grommets fill them nicely.

Mallard - My 1958 TR3A came with black rubber blanking plugs brand new.

Although the bodies (except TR3B) were made over at Mulliners, a retired S-T design engineer living nearby in retirement explained the mystery of the square holes.
Apparently the body jigs had square pegs to accurately position the firewall components ready for welding.

Keith,
A 1/2" rubber plug fits in those square holes perfectly, but not all 1/2" plugs are created the same. I'm almost positive I got the one that fit from TRF. But you could also easily put a carrige bolt painted black and no one would know the difference.
