Hi,

I've nearly finished put in all my silicone hoses except one.

The small take-off from the water pump used to go to the heater matrix so i'm told. As i'm not using the heater and my weber inlet manifold dosen't have a water connection, so where do i connect the pipe to?

Is this the one if so it went to the heater matrix then to the inlet manifold.
I'm guessing that you could blank it off as its no longer in use.

Thats the one.

Wasn't sure if i could blank it. As the water pump would be pumping water and it would have nowhere to go until the themostat opens, or have i got it ass about face.

I'm not too sure as I'm running the original carbs and manifold so I've just joined where the heater should be.
Maybe TT or someone else can give you a deffinite yes.

It's funny how you can recognise peoples cars from a photo like that. At a guess its RichardK's as I have the headers in my garage!

Thats looking tidy, I have managed to get hold of an RS exhaust manifold so all I need to do now come up with the first section of exhaust from the manifold to take it from two to one and then hopefully I can take a single pipe out of the side of the car and not cut out too big a hole for the exhaust
