Here's today's bodge, kids! Take out yer latest Moss catalogues, turn to page 97. There you will notice item number "56," part number 363-170, "TUBE, drain/dust valve." It's NA... Not Available. This is the exit for water that winds up in the heater box from outside and keeps it there instead of on your floorboards and carpets. The forty-odd year old one on Herself's car is a *BIT* nacker'd to put it mildly. So now what?
Weellll... Into the bit-pit here at Chaos & Mayhem PTY., LTD. and Dr Entropy's Hand Made Goods. A bicycle innertube, one to fit a "27x1-1/4" is a tolerable beginning. Cut a six inch section of this puppy, ~STRUGGLE~ it over the remains of the metal stub of the downpipe, shtup the lower end thru the hole in the tranny tunnel and it becomes both drain and valve in form and function! I've managed to resuscitate the original clamp in this instance but a nylon tie-wrap would work as well, certes. Keep checkin' back as we attempt to nob a seal of some efficacy from something else.
We here at Chaos & Mayhem PTY., LTD. hope this bit of semi-useless information serves to help someone in future.
Thank You for your kind attention in this matter. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
