Default Going by memory?

Hi Lynn,
I am going by memory back 6 years ago when it was all apart.What you are explaining sounds right to me.There were 2 separate tubes that joined together and then downward to the bottom of the hull.I can't be sure there is even a hole in the floor to drain through or if it was intended to leak out the oil pan drain hole.If it wasn't winter and -31c out I would look for myself but it will have to wait until spring! As far as the tool,I have only heard of it's existence and have not found one for my collection yet.Thanks for your input on the subject.
Regards,Derk.

Here's a picture of the tool and the drain pipes. The pipes are a bit beaten up, and the tag was printed for the Aust. pattern carriers, but used by the NZ army stores people for the English/ Canadian carrier parts they stocked.

I have one of those tools, and they should be easy to replicate. We'll whip one out when I get home in the spring.

As they say a picture is worth a thousand words, Thanks for posting them. Does anyone have a picture of the block drain valve ?
