Leaky bodies - and Tom's Knob

[David Knowles <dknowles@uk.b-r.com>]

Trivia time folks - I noticed the thread about the rubber drain tube
which pokes out from the bottom of the scuttle air vent and drains
alongside the gearbox. Blockage of this - with silt, leaves etc. - is a
common reason for leaks into the interior. The shape of the tube is
quite - ahem - distinctive  - which led to it being known at the factory
as `Tom's Knob'. How fortunate Tom was with the ladies has not been
recorded....
