1968 Trunk Drain Tubes

Postby 68 Toro » Sat Aug 20, 2011 8:20 pm

Recently one of my trunk drain rubber tubes clogged and ruptured, leaving standing water in the right rear wheel well at the right side of the trunk. I purchased new drain tubes from Fusick.com and attempted to install them myself. First I removed the old, tattered tubes. I was unable to install the new ones, so I brought them to my mechanic who installed them easily. Since I had already removed the old ones, I couldn't show him how the bottom end connected to the piece of pipe sticking out into the trunk's wheel wells. The below photos are my mechanic's installation. Can somebody upload a photo of what they're supposed to look like?

I drove through a heavy downpour and luckily the new drain tubes worked. No water inside trunk.

Looks about right to me.

I've still got the originals on my '66, i'll see if I can get you a pocture in the next day or so if no-one else does.
