Hi all,

The water channel is partially eaten away in the engine compartment of my '64 and will need replacing, As will the side trays thanks to water sitting in them. Where are the drain tubes supposed to go ??? Would it be wise to make a hole in the new side trays when I make and extend the drain tubes to run through them so that the water runs onto the road ??? Has anyone else ever had this problem and what did you do to fix it ????

Thanks Dane

Ahhhhh ok... I need to make up new side trays as mine are completley munted..... The replacement panels I have seen advertised O/Seas didnt have holes in them...

Another little fab job that will be waiting for me when I get back from this work trip 🙂

Thanks Mat
