I know this topics been discused a few times but just after some feedback.
Ive removed my old headlining and have decided to go for a westy ply jobby and am in the process of finally sorting out the drain tubes. the middles and rears are sorted but the fronts have rusted where the plastic tube meets the steel bit in the roof void, my plan was to cut a 30mm hole in the B pillar with a starrat cutter which would hopefully go through the pipe as well and to by pass the angled bit which has rusted, the hole should be high enough up so the headliner and perforated material on the pillar should hide things.
My problem is that after seeing how good my shell is im now feeling a bit reluctant to start drilling and cutting it about and im also worried I might be weakening the pillars also.
My two options at the moment would be to either run a plastic tube from the front drain hole and T into the middle pipe, fine if you dont park with your nose down a hill on a rainy night or to run some 10 or 15mm copper tubing down the face of the B pillars down through the floor and up through the headliner and join the rubber tube that goes into the drain hole then either polish it as a feature or paint it the colour of the interior.
Just wondering if these ideas sound naf or if anyone has any other suggestions.
