I wish somebody would reproduce the drain tube. 
Without it, the rainwater pools on the firewall shelf
and leaks through the hole where the accelerator cable
goes.

Triumph should have put that hole on a raised boss so
water could not drip through it.  I can't believer
they allowed such a leaky design to be produced for so
many years...
