Dear All, I've broken my dick...metaphorically speaking. Have just tried ordering one from the usual suppliers but it appears the heater drain tube is no longer available. Do any of the MG PH'ers know where I could either buy a new one, or, used in very good condition? All help greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Thanks Nigel, yes, very careless of me and should know better. Needed to remove the thing when prep'ing inside of car, it wouldn't come off, was tired from a long days grafting and took a cutter to it without realizing they were unavailable..."stupid boy". Can easily make a tube that will do the job but would be better in buying the real thing.

If anyone has a spare in their garage do get in touch...

I very nearly did the same thing while doing the transmission tunnel mods to mine a few months back, reading this I am glad I didn't.
A friend has an MGB he plans to sell/break, possibly, if I can pin him down. I'll see if he wants to part with that bit.
Thanks Task, luckily Gary at Andy Jennings has found one for me. Suggest your friend 'holds onto his dick' !! They are nigh impossible to find - currently only two on ebay and none of the normal suppliers have any. A rare thing indeed.

Yes, Tim, it does...but for all the wrong reasons...plus, is Mrs LBS aware of your notoriety?

Nigel, thank you for the Andy Jennings prompt. The new [second hand] appendage arrived yesterday in its very own snug 'Jiffy' bag and all for the princely sum of £10 incl' P&P. Now that's very good service. Thank you.
