Very little accomplished since the last posting other than cleaning and painting of bolt ons while waiting for arrival of some orders. Not much else has happened. Ordered some manifold paint and misc hardware items.
Getting finalized on an order for rubber which brings one of todays questions. Were any grommets on the defroster pipe openings or did the hose just get close and personal to the firewall.
Another question is for anyone that might have the optional windshield washer. I don't have a complete unit & probably won't bother but just on the chance one should fall into my hands, was there a designated opening in the firewall? There are several knockout spots visible on the firewall below the defroster and just to the side that could be candidates. The only picture I could find showed the bottle and pump but no hoses.
Final question for this post is the center dash panel. The 21st series accessory book shows a knob labeled "Cooling". That particular button is not listed in the regular parts manual. Any chance that it was a switch actually for prewar AC or just artistic license on the part of the illustrator who did the accessory book.
