Im looking to get some drain bulbs for my Jensen Interceptor but have been told they are obsolete, but im sure they must fit another 60s/70s car. I would be grateful if anybody could identify which other cars used these.
The small one with a grommet stye end fits a 28mm hole and the tube o/d is 28mm on the larger one.

I am not sure which car it was but I have seen these on one of the many cars I've owned over the years.
I have a feeling they were just like this on a Citroen CX. Debris used to collect in the bulb and stop the water getting out. I recall milking them like a cows udder to get the dirt out.
If it's not the Citroen I will make a list of all my old cars and have a ponder.

Our MKII Zodiac uses them on the air intake drain tube.

Thanks for the replies, I have now found the second grommet style type and these are in good condition but would still like to buy the ones fixed to a tube as the original tubes have disintegrated internally.

Halftonvan you're right every time ive seen these they are blocked and causing more problems including plenty of extra work for my welder.

John-saab do you know if they are still available as I don't know what spares availability is like for Zodiacs although I don't hold out too much hope as generally Interceptor spares availability is great but we cannot get these.
