pfenlon Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 Saw Stuarts pic of his system and I copied it this way. Using 8mm Rivnuts which fit through the hole at the rear of the front inner wing, and a piece of washing machine "Fill" tube. (Pack of Rivets in 2nd pic.) Then another Rivnut at the outer end, it makes for a neat job. I didn't want to start bending the tubes to prevent water ingress from the front wheel, so I put a plate over the 2 pipes, doesn't look too bad either. The rubber tube is just a tight fit through the hole. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drewmotty Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 I soldered a 15 to 10mm plumbing connector to a brass plate and bonded it to the inner wing with Tigerseal. The drain hose connects to the plenum drain and exits down through the top of the sill and out under the car through the inner face. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

qkingston Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 That's what I'm working on, useful pics vmt. I take it that the stub pipe doesn't foul on the outer wing flange? David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drewmotty Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 The outer wing flange needed to be relieved to clear my connections. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave McDonald Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 Here's my version. Developed from, and with acknowledgement to, Stuarts' original. I had 2 short 10mm diameter steel tubes welded through the baffle plate, projecting slightly proud at the front and longer behind, together with a 1/4" unf captive nut. A further piece of the same tube is welded to the inner wheel arch at each end of the scuttle channel. Rubber tubes from the normal internal plenum outlet and the extra scuttle outlet connect to the two stubs on the baffle plate. A rubber flap on the outside of the baffle plate, to prevent road muck entering, is fixed with one of the standard baffle plate fixings and the extra captive nut. Lastly a small plate welded onto the bulkhead side panel is used to attach a P clip to hold the new pipe in place to stop it rubbing inside the outer wing. See photos.

ed_h Posted January 18, 2021 Report Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) These are all great solutions! I made these little two-part terminations for the drain line to help keep road crud out.
