MG MGA - Splash plate

The rear splash plates (behind the rear wheels) do not have any seals and there is a big gap at the top and a smaller gap on the outsides. Are they just a sort of stone guard ?
Art Pearse

Yes, sort of a stone guard. It protects tail light wiring and also provides a mounting point for the bottom edge of the fender.

OK, so what is the hole for in the centre top of the plate?
Art Pearse

Probably used by a former owner so it could be hung for spray painting.

Don't think so Barry, there are other holes that could be used for that.
Art Pearse

The top center hole is likely a factory production tooling hole, placed on a guide pin to hold alignment during forming of the part.
Barney Gaylord

OK, so I'm not missing any bits that might fix there! Thanks.
