  heater/blower tubing
Posted by: jimmyjamjar - 12-11-2017, 03:20 PM - Forum: Technical Queries / Questions - Classic Mini - No Replies

Hi! Guys
Just put the heater blower unit back in to Jemima Puddleduck . How are the water tubes routed? I can see the right hand side pipe that goes to the valve on the head is straightforward but how is the long one from the left hand side routed, does it go behind the carb and beneath the air cleaner or round the front of the carb across the tappet cover, That looks like a bit too close to the manifold and all that heat. Also does it matter which tube goes where i.e. heater valve pipe to bottom input pipe and left hand side to  top input pipe, or vice versa.
I also am struggling with the corrugated air pipe from the right side wheel well to the blower as it fouls the clutch and brake pedal levers. Is it worth while placing a mesh across the wheel well opening, I don't remember one when I stripped it all out but might stop leaves and junk from being sucked into the unit.

Hi all! I’m new here and am thinking about finally purchasing a mini Smile

With them being so old I’d like to take the car for a quick check to see from professional perspective if there is not something obviously wrong with it.

Can you recommend any mechanic or person in know around Kyalami/Paulshof?

Thanks in advance.
