[SEL] Very OT but need help

[bill at antique-engines.com]

Unfortunatly, they could be inside the body panels - say inside a door or
other interior cavity.
I'm not familiar with that model so don't know specific possibilities, but
can tell a mouse can get through things by somehow defying the laws of
physics - a sound peg can go into a flat hole.

For the future, I've found dryer sheets stratigically placed can help
prevent them setting up housekeeping - BOUNCE works well.
If you can stand the smell, a mothball or two is rumoured to help as well.
