Checking to see if anyone knows where to get, or has an alt option for the NLA AC evaporator drain grommet tube, part number 64511356039. I am sure I could make a section of tube camped to the drain, but that seems like a recipe for later disaster.
Solution for NLA AC Drain tube?

according to realoem, that isn't an e9 part
I will need to take mine apart again, so watching for thoughts on this topic.
The parts diagram just shows two parts, # 16 & 17, a gasket ring and rubber seal.

Sorry, yes that specific one is not indended for the E9, but was a better alternative that was available until recently. All the parts are NLA, and this prior thread did does good job of outlining the parts and options: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/a-c-drain-not-draining.26129/
Given none are available that I can find (original or the newer alternatives), does anyone have any solutions that are available?
I used 039 on my Chamonix coupe and trimmed off a bit of the length and used a short hose on Malaga, both worked fine.
Why not a grommet and then a piece of hose down through the center?Should be close to the original molded part.
The nice thing about the molded one is it is both a grommet and funnel tube making it so it can’t drop off and it does not need to be directly attached to the evaporator housing. I think the next best solution is a tube connected to the housing, just harder to get in, and could always drop off being there is not much to grab on to. If there is no other available part though, seems like the only answer.
Did you ask Thom?
