What is this?

[Ed Brock]

Can anyone out there tell me what this part is and where it goes? I have 2, I persume they are a set.

[Mark Maras]

 Are the two, mirror image of each other?

[Ed Brock]

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.

Thanks, Ed

 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.

The hose clamp says not factory stock.

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.

I think it's a whoopie cushion for tight a s s e s.

 

[Ed Brock]

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!

Ed, the only 3 drains I know are:

Cowl to Fender

Radio Antenna

AC

Perhaps the hose side was clamped to the cowl drain?

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.

Great talking to you again, Ed

A smaller hose could then attach to the nipple. But it surely would clog easily with leaves and needles washing through it.
