Hi all
It's been a couple of years since I was last here I guess .. still have my 65 f/b here in Spain but have been busy building a Cobra replica in the mean time (nearly finished now ) What I need to know is what the drain arrangement is for the cowl .. the cowl itself seems OK but I can just about get my hand into the passenger side hole and there is a bit of debris in there .. not too much though. The thing is when I pour water down the cowl vent it comes out from under the back of the front fender which I suppose it is meant to, but then it starts to weep out inside the car where the kick panel joins the inner rocker panel. I can't get at this area without removing the splash shield which I can *almost* remove .... can these be removed without removing the fender? And does the cowl drain down a rubber /steel tube or something like that which could have got blocked? The shop book I have doesn't show any of this.
This is all because the car has spent some time outside this las 12mths and we have had some really bad storms recently. I know it probably wants fenders off, screen out, cowl vent removed etc. ... but here in Spain if the screen broke it would be a major problem ... also the paintwork on the car is real good so i don't want to go down this avenue as yet.
Thanks .... Dave in Sunny Spain
