MG MGF Technical - Whats missing

Can any VVC owners have a look at the pic and tell me what was previously in the empty threaded hole.
The cam belts were changed last april presumably this is when a screw was left off.

As far as i can remember, nothing's missing, it's used for a bracket on the FWD range of vehicles... can anyone back me up on this one?
Steve T

Sometimes these holes are there to attach a bolt and bracket to aid in engine lifting using a block and tackle or engine hoist. (I guess)

Cheers,

I remeber the nice cap. Got the same in the meantime.

Baby Baker up for school soon ? :)
Dieter

Yes Dieter,

Adam is at school now and is big enough to have had a few trips in the MGF. Lewis is 2 1/2 and isn't quite big enough for the booster seat.
