Just been out checking the drain etc. and took a piccie of the 'spy hole' mod I have done to the plenum cover - makes checking the drain less than a 1 minute job ...

Thanks for that Christopher

NOW I feel able to do the spy-hole mod myself

Great picture Christopher, hope you don't mind if I print it of as a guide to doing mine. What's the black rubber thing you have used to blank the hole of.

anyone involved in vinyl stickers?

I foresee a rash of christmas "PLENUM CHECK HERE->" stocking fillers for 2007

(for the man who wants to be ultra sure he's not damp down below -and for others to know it)

And if anyone decides to do it, it was MY idea and my consultancy fee is one sticker.

Hi all I have just viewed the plenum spyhole. Why cant this hole be positioned over the drain and used to rod out the pipe without removing the all the covers,or am I being a little to sensible.

Neat job. How did you cut the hole to fit the grommet?
