Heater Return Pipe

May 2005 (Improvement)

This is a mainly cosmetic modification, although it does make removal of the rocker cover easier when adjusting the valves. The heater return pipe normally runs over the top of the rocker cover but, having decided to fit a nice alloy cover, the pipe looked a bit of an eyesore so I re-routed it and made an attractive alternative.

It was then fixed with p-clips to a bracket fabricated from some 25mm angle aluminium (see photo on left).
