[Roadsters] cowl drain hose

[Pat Horne]

That may be the hose I bought some years ago. It's still sitting in the 
trunk waiting for me to get time to work on the engine. If need be I can 
check to see what it is. I seem to recall it being an upper radiator 
from a Subaru, but I can't remember.

When my original hose rotted I installed 2 rubber plumbing expansion 
plugs in the the holes to close them off. It's been that way for about 8 
years and works fine. When water builds up under the cowl, the first 
corner you go round pushes the water out of the depression and out into 
the fender.

Peace,
Pat
