I did the spy hole mod some time ago, and checked the compartment drain today, all ok. One question though, my ZT only seems to have a top (wing) drain fitted on the n/s, on the off-side it has a blanking plug. Is this correct?

Yes, it it correct.
On later models the offside drain was deleted and fitted with a blank.

After a couple of minutes research, can I fit an ECX100081 TUBE in place of the blanking plug, and if I did, would it drain to somewhere sensible?

Replaced the o/s blank with a drain tube, putting it at pre-project drive standard:
Before: Part: After: Less worries about water building up and draining into the plenum now

However, where I park the car next to the house it is canted to the right so there is a pool of water there after rain. I hope this will help in the parking spot the car spends most of its time.

Had the car now around 13years.---Shortly after I bought it I checked and cleaned out the plenum of a small quantity of leaves.---Many years later I decided the do the drilled hole and sticky tape idea.
Yesterday ( Having not thought about the plenum for many years now-- ) I decided to pass a rod down through the drilled hole. I could see the rod poke out from under the car.--No leaves, no water. I actually felt a little disappointed at finding nothing come out of the drain pipe. Guess I might need to wait another 5 years before I get a result. --- |
