Windscreen frame Drainage Tubes

[Mike Y]

I am starting work again on JUFs Jimbobs unfinished concourse Elan.

The car came with just a bare painted windscreen frame. Has anyone got any photos of the route and how the drainage tubes are fitted down the A pillars. Any info/photos etc would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Mike

The routing of the pipe looks a bit Heath Robinson. There’s a drawing on page 73 of the 1991 Section BK Addendum to the Service Notes on “water ingress”. See http://ret0027h.eresmas.net/bk073.htm .

My car has never had the tube, and I don’t think it’s worth fitting it, as the better solution is to prevent water getting onto the header rail in the first place by eliminating any gaps.

The best thing is to eliminate any sponge, I.E the stuff that's used to SUCK water up, great for washing cars but waterproofing them, who thought of that idea? .
