March 9, 20213 yr Author comment_617440 Mark, Yes they are mirror images. Now that I said that, the mounting bracket may be on the other side on the second one, not sure however.

March 9, 20213 yr comment_617447 It appears the large end is a crushed tube. Stretching my imagination and making several assumptions (it was a tube, it's not an orig. part), it looks like something I'd fabricate to extend and anchor a cowl drain tube inside the fender.

March 9, 20213 yr comment_617451 I was going to guess “drain” as well. Is the flattened wide thing rubber or metal? May be an add or user replacement to whatever was on there before. I have never ever seen these. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/65151-what-is-this/#findComment-617451 Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 10, 20213 yr Author comment_617464 Thanks guys. I appreate your help. siteunseen has the best answer. Yes a drain of some sort. Yes the wide part is rubber that is flatened. The clamp is most definitetly not OE. The hose is quite old however. Just thought I would ask, Maybe it was one of those unobtainables. Maybe not!

March 10, 20213 yr comment_617509 Ed, the only 3 drains I know are: Cowl to Fender Radio Antenna AC Perhaps the hose side was clamped to the cowl drain?

March 11, 20213 yr Author comment_617535 That's what I'm thinking. Instead of the metal being up it was mounted downward. To me that's the only thing that maks sense.

March 11, 20213 yr comment_617546 A smaller hose could then attach to the nipple. But it surely would clog easily with leaves and needles washing through it. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/65151-what-is-this/#findComment-617546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
