[alfa] Alfa Spider answer and question

[alfacybersite <acs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Trying to save paper here. Beatle of the new father down under: The rear 
drains on a Round-Tail / Duetto are, fer shure, one for the fuel filler 
overflow and might possibly be one on the other side. This particular 
drain has a circular cut out on the inner "skin" so it is not noticeable 
from underneath. However, there are, fer shure, two drains farther back. 
If one was to remove the taillights completely, then look down in their 
cavity, you would find a longitudinal support panel between the outer 
and inner panel. At the bottom of which is a drain opening. I too have 
found strange items "down there' but it is obviously best to get them 
out so they don't clog the drains. Personally I flood the entire car 
with water after stripping it down completely. It does take about a 
minute or so for the water to drain out of the rear trunk cavity - which 
assumes the drains are open and the rear is higher than the front, but 
she does then drain quite nicely.

Okay, what is the proper color for the rear radius rods on a Spider? 
Body color, or black? Suspect the latter, though I find  many repainted 
Spiders have body colored radius rods.
