Not a problem. I would be more concerned with water getting to the ignition box/dist. etc. The deflectors would probably help keep things a lot cleaner though!
I will be using modified inner fenders. It's the header that I'm worried about. I will have the headers coated white and they'll be difficult to keep clean on a driver anyway.Not a problem.

406Rich is correct....The coated version of headers is pretty weather resistant...You can buff them with a scotchbrite pad (Forget what color pad) and they come pretty clean. Going to go Old Skool on mine and paint them flat white...That means about every winter I will have to probably repaint them..but thats OK its that what winter time is for...LOLThe only problem with wrapping them is they`ll hold the moisture and deterorate quicker...just a thought.
Spray d-w 40 inside your distributor cap, wipe out the excess, it will never miss from moisture, I go to to many car washes, thats how I learned that trick.Not a problem.

Mike I think this is a great idea. Especially, if you can engineer it nice and make it look clean.I was thinking of making some deflectors that I can mount with dzus fasteners so they can be removed when it's dry.

These were originally the older style used on the old 69/70 land crusiers, JC whitney still sells them, over the windshield..Thanks for the picture...... do you recall what kind it is and where you purchased it?
Is it top mounted or under the cowl or....?????
I have "no wipers" so as I deal with turning the Opel into a "streetable" and almost "street-legal" car again I have a LOT of things that need to be done before next cruising season.
BTW..... lots of rain & temps in the 40's past few days here in Pittsburgh. But a "warm-up" back to mid to upper 60's is on the way. Weather forecasters are calling for a near perfect weekend after almost a week of cold-rainy weather making it feel like Winter...... burrrrrrr!!!
So if all goes as forecast we will take a ride to a nearby car cruise that has the history of having cars showing up even though the "official" last cruise (with a D.J.) was two weekends ago.
Yeah, I know. The local guy that coats has about 7 colors, not white. I got some stuff from Eastwood that is supposed to work. I tried to find it on their site and it's not there anymore... makes me wonder why?!? I'll coat them and post what it looks like later this year or early next year.Hey MT just a heads up....currently nobody that I know of makes a header coating in White. the only way to get white is to paint them. I have searched as I want white headers myself!!
Maybe thats where I saw it at?I think I mentioned it here on another post. I use RainX on my Austin so I don't really need wipers, and also on my '71 Camaro that doesn't have wipers either. The heavier the rainfall, the better RainX works. If it's a very light mist it wont bead up large enough to run off, unless you're moving pretty fast, but in the heavy rains it just beads up and rolls right off.
Sounds like a good excuse, officer!...a very light mist it wont bead up large enough to run off, unless you're moving pretty fast...
