Re: Sunroof drainage

Thanks Stewart, There is no sign of these pipes . I need help as to their location, roughly. There's a lot of underseal on undersides of both wings. If you could point me in the rough area, I'd be most grateful. Do you know if rear and front windscreen seals are available from anyone? Thanks for you...

Sunroof drainage

Hi all. Can anyone tell me where the sunroof front rubber drain tubes exit the car. I've tried a " mole" using stiff cable but suspect it stopping at a blockage. How easy is it to replace ? - I assume it goes down the A posts - no sign of it in that area underneath car. Thanks Alan p3man 451

Inefficient P3 brakes.

Hi, I would be very interested to hear from any P3 owners who may have converted their braking system to hydraulic at the rear. Is it possible to use a P4 rear axle ? Any problems with ratios, or having to upgrade brake master cylinder ? Can a servo be fitted ? My export 1948 P3 has to be driven wit...
