JohnRoberts Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hi Guys Anybody got ideas how to deal with the water draining off the bonnet and into the wings (without removing the wing) Should I just block this drain hole. Thanks for any suggestions. Best Regards JohnR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed_h Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 The pic below is for the water that comes down the windshield, across the cowl, and goes into the gutter at the rear of the bonnet. The shape of the bonnet should minimize the water that runs into the side gutters. I frankly can't remember where the side gutters drain. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stuart Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hi John/Ed, the side gutters to the bonnet drain in the same place as in the photo of Ed's screen drain. Imagine a 1/2" hole in the vertical flange of the gutter (inner wing) immediately forward of Ed's fabricated funnel. This hole is flush with the horizontal surface of the gutter. The underwing pipework could then joint the plenum drain and go out at the bottom of the wheel arch. Roger The gutter outlet is at the top of the black line P1040608a.jpg Thats for a 4/4a/5 Roger, totally different for a 6. I construct a box acting similar to Eds. Stuart.

JohnRoberts Posted February 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Hi Guys Thanks for the replies. There is only one drain hole at the offside,but don't want to remove the wing to construct a drain box as Stuart's photo shows. I have just repaired the plelum chamber and connected the drains into the wheel arch. I am going to make a plate with a hose connector attached and slot it in from the top.

Mark69 Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Pondering over what to do with my gutter and plenum drains, I notice from various posts both these drains have been linked together, if by chance the outlet gets blocked the plenum would soon fill with water from the top gutter. So thinking of installing two pipes. Anyone else done this? Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRoberts Posted October 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 Hi Mark 2 hoses in each wing. I used silicon hose, attached to copper plate with a copper tube soldered on,and bonded with polyurathane sealant to the corner of the wing. Fitted from the top.

Sapphire72 Posted October 15, 2017 Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 don't want to remove the wing I have just repaired the plelum chamber and connected the drains into the wheel arch. I am going to make a plate with a hose connector attached and slot it in from the top. http://trf.zeni.net/TR6-TR250GB/284.php There is access to inside the front wing by removing a splash panel (either side).
