Hi David,
I went through this on my M37 too. I bought a parts truck, thinking that it had a good gutter, it wasnt. I then got one off a friends parts truck, It was still OD all around, looked great until I sandblasted it. Then it had a section about 8" that was rotted out. I made a section to replace the 8" and got it welded in. The gutter itself is a seperate piece from the cowl. My cowl was fine, just the gutter was rotted. The gutter is held in with a series of spot welds. If your cowl is rusted out then grafting in a good cowl / vent is the way to go.
Tim
