Default 1932 Ford 3W coupe drain holes

Thanks in advance for your help.

Can anyone tell me how many drain holes were in the bottom of 3W coupe doors? And the size/diameter of the holes?

Also, would someone be wiling to share a picture of the routing of the rear window drain to the floorboard?

Thank you very much --

Richard

Originally there were no drain holes in the bottom of the doors.

If someone doesn't provide you with a photo of the rear window drain routing before, I can do it tomorrow.

I know there are no drain holes originally but I drilled a 1/4 in hole toward the front. With a raked car the water runs to the front?

Here's the photos that I mentioned. Note that the original "hose" was not a rubber hose, but rather the woven conduit used in wiring harnesses. Also please note the large hole in the floor pan sill on the right side (left in the photo) in the second photo where the hose passes through.
