Hancock - Head Chateauroux} /LG9.10.28. RE. DRAIN PIPE ON PHANTOM - SIDE BY SIDE REAR BRAKES. 78420 As previously reported, these drain outlets become choked up with mud thrown back from the front wheels etc. We should recommend that the lip of the three drains on either side be turned so that they are at an angle of approx. 45° to the vertical, the tip forming a shield.
