Copper heater hose

Post by roymck »

Found who sells these the other week but now for the life of me I can’t find it again .

It’s the U shaped rubber hose and the copper heater pipe that runs in front of the rocker cover as per this picture . So who sells these ?

No looks like split weber ;)

About your car if you are LHD it's a different copper hose

Take a look on my 997 thread :)

The pipe & hose should be available from any friendly plumber, that should be dead easy to make up.
If I was doing that, rather than have the hose with the 180 bend onto the heater tap, I would be using two 15mm Yorkshire elbows and just a short straight hose.
