if you put a bit of grease on the end of something that will reach down to the bottom of the plenum and rub in around the hole you will only need to lift the scuttle panel up a little bit without removing it.
That would stay in place for long time i would think and sort the issue. Last edited by genpk; 28th November 2020 at 19:05.. |

Yes, a flared pipe soldered into the upper plenum floor would do the trick - but you'd have to take the servo out to do it.

This is the view along the plenum (taken by leaning right in over the left wing) with the scuttle, wiper gear and all three closing panels removed. The RH drain tube is at the far end underneath the servo - it's impossible to get anything rigid down the hole with the servo still there. Last edited by Blink; 29th November 2020 at 14:12.. |

PS. The above pic was taken after I washed the entire area with detergent and hosed away all the muck with mains water.
This is during the 2nd or 3rd lot of detergent before hosing it all down towards the drain tubes. 90% of the muck ended up under the servo and stayed there until I blasted it right across to the LH tube. This is the LH & centre (hours later!) - pollen filter removed, ECU lying on top of intake manifold. Last edited by Blink; 29th November 2020 at 14:46.. |

Another problem - what to do with the cracked factory sealant (seam sealer?).
LH side cracks This piece has lifted away (or it left the factory like that ) RH side crack More cracks on RH Last edited by Blink; 29th November 2020 at 15:23.. |

Since you have it that far apart, some tiger seal in those cracks should sort things.
