#1 Drain tubes bd28539 - headlight scoop

Post by grimes6 » Mon May 16, 2016 7:11 am

Many thanks to all who have helped me in the past. Another query - what are the dimensions of the drain tubes for the "sugar scoops" and are they readily available?

Regards,
Greg

Hi All - I know it's some time since this topic was raised but can any member please advise where the drain tube connected to the headlamp scoop drain should terminate? The more practical solution, rather than strict compliance to the original, to avoid the water causing future rust problems would be greatly appreciated.
Look forward to responses and many thanks in advance.
Best regards

I would recommend having them a little longer and route them out of the bonnet, from memory there are two options for exit.

Pat
