[FC] unidentified holes

[Lon Anderson]

No JR... the only difference would be that the vans keep the hinges from rusting, so the door WILL fall shut if you're tightening a terminal (not something you want happening)... I have a small "on/off" switch that powers a small light for when I'm working back there, accessible from the battery compartment... but yeah, there's supposed to be a small rubber block that wedges the door open.
As for the antenna hole, I have 2 vans with antennas on the left front, and two with it on the right front... I like it on the left, but factory placement was on the right.
Later,
Lonzo

I don't know - mine stays open when I open it while parked.  Maybe there is 
a difference between Rampside and other FCs?
Later, JR
