Ditched heater, water where
Turbo Mini Forums

i have ditched th heater in favor of saving some more weight, but, where shall i route the water hoses from the heater take off on the head and the bottom hose take off..

can i simply just route them together, or would it be advisable to try and find a small radiatior to but somewhere, thus giving me extra unwanted weight

I ran a pipe from the heater take off on the head to the bottom hose take off. Simple really

thats what i was thinking, couldnt work out if there would be any implications..

good as done then

I have used one of the heater off takes from DSN Classics. With a length of copper tube I then route around the back of the rocker cover. The other end of the copper tube goes through a 90 deg bend back to the inlet on the bottom hose.

If you are interested I can post a picture of the whole install, don't have a picture available right now though.

**Just added a better picture**

Mines routed into the top hose so it gets cooled rather than keep being circulated through the engine.

Any pictures Nick? Have you chopped a bottom hose to suit?
