I'm curious what is the proper way for the rain tray funnels to be connected to the drain tubes?? Are they simply pushed on?? Glued?? Hose clamped?? My '74 has pull ties holding the tubes onto the funnels (from PO) & that doesn't seem right.
Also, what is the proper color of the tubes? Mine are clear & all I've seen on other 914's have been black. A re-do by the PO also, perhaps? |

If it works & you're not a CW, keep it. Actually sounds like a decent idea. Just not factory. Attached thumbnail(s)

A good source for drain tubes is VW Super Beetles. They use the exact same material for the fresh air drain tubes in the front trunk and the tubes are longer. The only difference is a 'molded' end section to make it easier to put on. Best part is, most of the ones you'll find are in great shape, as they are out of the sun and not exposed to heat like the teeners are.

If you want them, let me know - $3.75 & ship costs. Don't even kno why I bought them, except they were cheap. Yous if you want them. Pat |
