Default Drain holes

Hi

I am just wanting to check where drain holes should be.

I've had a lot of welding done and whilst the sill 'slots' are in place and clear, I'm thinking there should be round hole drains in the bottom of the A posts - below the panel with the 'backward E' pressed into the steel.

Is this where the rain from the heater vent ends up?

Thanks

I think the term is "BUMP"

to bump my question back to the top - I really want to start drilling ASAP if I need to

Will look on my 145 when its light, tomorrow. Somebody else asked a similar question back in summer, and we didn't see a hole where I think you mean, but will look again. Do you mean actually in the A-post where it meets the sill, or where?

Thank you

I've taken a photo from John H's project that nicely shows the panel I mean - I've squiggled a green box where I think a hole may be needed
