    WTB: Early SWB Front Trunk Metal Drain Tube Near Smuggler's

    Currently undergoing restoration on our '66 and it is missing this drain tube that appears to be welded to the chassis, longshot but anyone out there with one or a part's car they could salvage this from? If possible the whole panel area including other drain holes. Images attached to show on the '65.

    Thanks!

    I fabricated one from a piece of pipe from Lowes. I had the original, that was badly rusted for a pattern though... A plumbers pipe bender and torch was used. The clearance holes for the Gas Lines are slightly flanged. You will see on the top side the flange is upturned slightly. On the opposite side the flange is down. I don't have my old one...trash...
    it would be several weeks before I could attempt to draw a pattern for you, as I am in the process of taping all of that area up to spray the exterior Color....GOOD LUCK !!!!IMG_1891.jpg

    Look up the part in the PET catalog. I thought I was going to have to fabricate one and it stalled my project for a while. But I ended up sourcing one either from Stoddard or directly from PORSCHE.
