Where can I find the parts that connect the sail panel vent drain to the rocker panel drain so water isn't dripped inside the rear quarters?

If I recall correctly, my 67 FB had a hose that ran down to the bottom. Don't recall the size though.

As complex and cool as the fastback vent system is, the drain aspect of it is rock-simple. Its just a hose (maybe 1 1/2 inch) held by a hose clamp that runs from the bottom of the vent, down to the rocker area. Not secured at the bottom.

Blake, you are so correct. I simply put plugs in mine top and bottom.

I seem to be missing the part that the hose would attatch too.

if this hose is missing, does the water end up in the trunk (like behind the inner fender)?

There should be a round hose attatchment that is an integral part of the vent assembly at the bottom. I can't imagine how you might lose this. Maybe rusted away?

SandSprite: Never run without the hose, but I suppose that it could end up in the trunk without it. I doubt it though. There'd be no "wind" or anything like that to blow it back over the weel well. Most likely, it would just drip down to the area that it is approximately supposed to go anyway.

When I was rebuilding my '65, I replaced the extractor vent drain hose with a molded dishwasher hose purchased from Ace Hardware. It was an exact fit, all I had to do was trim the lower end to the correct length.

Not rusted, just plain forgotton I think. This is a very original rust free car and I'm fairly sure I'm first to be behind the interior panels. I've seen pictures of the proper parts. My can just never had them in the 1st place. Could this be a California thing?

My '66 had the fitting on the pass. side but nothing on the drivers side. My grandfather made one and I put it on the drivers side and connected it to some clear hose and tucked it into the drain hole in the floor.
