Picked up an LC9 for a conversion project and started learning about the steam ports...didn't know anything when I got it - or even that they existed to be honest so didn't think to look them over. The rear vents must be broken off. Can anyone help me with some pictures of these so I know what I'm up against getting them out? Or is this normal?

 

That's normal... they are plugged on the rear of those as the factory only uses the front steam ports... older ones used all 4 corners
