Can anyone give me the ID and length of the Cowl Vent Drain line that goes through the firewall? Thanks

for a half ton, or 3/4 ton?
actually I dont think anyone knows the actuall length.
part no 785785, is also used for the battery pan drain and the window
drain.
and I could have sworn the size was in the manual somewhere,
but I cant find it now.
sorry
BB

Thats my problem. I looked for over an hour in the manuels and the master parts book and other than numbers no dimentions at all. The origional came apart when I tried to remove it a year or so ago and I tossed it.

Tm 10-1530 (1942) and SNL G-502(1944) list part #785785 as Side Window Drain Tube for WC-53 Carry-All 4 needed. Sold by the foot size ( 7/16 ID x 5/8 OD x 10")Cut to length needed. Neather books list this part # under cowl or battery drain, but with the Army standandization I believe that they will work. I need the drain on my WC-52 battery. Hope this helps. Bob

While we are on the subject does anyone have a cowl vent hinge. I seem to have lost mine.

Good luck in finding ANY parts for the cowl vent. I'm thinking maybe that power wagon parts may fit though.
