Easy - 90 Degree plumbing fitting through the window (which is plastic) - coupled with piece of flexible plastic tube (detach when you open door) ... total cost about $3 !!
Can photograph if you really need , but it's just common sense and simple !

Would like to see it if its not too much trouble. To remove it do you have to pull it out of the window from outside the car or can it be pulled through from the inside?
Thanks.

The impressive thing, to me, is to go that hard out for so long with so many various turn combinations. I know that's what the co-pilot is for but it's amazing to see.

Rock on!

What's on your modification wishlist?
When's the next event?

OK - time for limited feedback !
..in answer to above
a)Shocks now back , and all installed - ready for Donegal Rally this weekend.
b) Feedback was not as good as I expected - they were able to do adjustments , tell me what I had , and suggest what I needed ... BUT good listeners they were NOT !!. Took 3 calls to get them to understand it was not a 911 - what it weighed etc etc. Their figs only quote a force at one speed - useless almost ... need a graph ... got a graph ... got a proposal ... modified proposal twice , and job now done ... this weekend will tell !!
c) Aluminium bits and shocks behind bumpers ... -27 Kg from the two ends
d) will decide next week - more weight out +++ ???
e) 100kg less and a proper gearbox
f) answered above

have fun ... I plan to
