It is my understanding that some time ago a number of members, including myself, had posted inquires with regard to locating a 1940 steering column grommet (or dust seal, or toe-board draft seal, or whatever term is the proper vernacular). While the steering column grommet for the '41 was available, the one for the '40 is entirely different and was not available. However, I located a source for the 1940 grommet and would be happy to share the contact information. I attempted to attach picture of the one made for my '40 P9 but could not reduce the file to get it below the 1 meg maximum file size, sorry. If you send me a PM with your email address then I can use my Outlook email and send you a picture of the one I was able to obtain. Thanks, Bruce

Does anyone have an original cowl ventilator tube (#793597) or grommet (#834696)? I am trying to figure out the size of the original tube (I.D. and O.D). It takes a 3/8" I.D. tube to attach to the drain spout, but I am not sure of the outside diameter where it goes through the firewall. Heater hose is 3/4" O.D. and fuel hose is 5/8" O.D. of course the grommet would need to fit the size of the hose. Someone suggested the end of the hose where it attaches to the cowl vent drain may have been flaired like a dishwasher drain hose to accommodate the 3/8" I.D. requirement but then reduced to a 1/4" I.D. hose with a 1/2" O.D. where it passes through the firewall. Once again this would neccessitate a different size grommet. Any information would be helpful. I have someone who is willing to reproduce the parts if I can figure out how they were made originally. If you know of correct reproductions already, I am interested in the source. Also, how long was the hose? How far did it hang down the firewall past the clip? Where did it actually drain to the ground? Thanks for the information. Mark
