That is on a 4/4a/5 and I was the one who came up with the idea many years ago.

I imagine you have considered the other option of extending the hose through the top of the inner sill and then out through the vertical part to exit under the floor - to my mind this creates a neater solution which isn't visible, except from underneath the car, and simply requires drilling two appropriate sized holes, to leave the hose a tightish fit in those holes - with plenty of waxoyl splashed around, no water should get into the sill. I'm sure I've seen photos of this arrangement on here previously .

 

If you really wanted a belt and braces job, you could solder a suitable bit of curved 15mm copper tube through the sill to pick up the existing hose.

 

What have I missed or is it simply a question of personal choice?

 

Cheers

Entirely up to you, I have used my own solution on lots of cars over the years and it is only visible if you look inside the wheel arch so Im happy with it.
