Can anyone give me some tips on how to restore the cowl vent drainage, if
any,
in my 67 MGBGT? Every time I'm caught in the rain, (happens often in Fla),
water gets in and when I open the cabin vent, water slops all over the
footwells.I've poked around with a coat hanger and looked with a flashlight,
but can see no drain hole. Is there one, and if so, where is it? Any tips
on
this would be greatly appreciated. Guess I need to get one of those
magnetic
covers, but I like the ventilation.... TIA, Phil Bacon 1967 MGBGT

There is a rubber drain on the bottom in the transmission tunnel under the
car. It fills up with junk.
It's on the passenger side (LHD) of the transmission, near the firewall.

You should see hole down through the right-hand end of the grille, but only
once it is dry, other wise you will have to prod around until you can feel
it. See http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/heatertext.htm#airb. Be a bit careful
prodding at it through, the rubber hose is secured onto a spigot and this
can corrode, violent prodding if the hose is well blocked could break it
off. The problem is that the spigot is in a double-skinned portion of the
tunnel and there is no easy way of getting at it to repair it, and further
rain will fill the double-skinned part, either draining into the car through
seams or rotting it out.
