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.
I used a piece of chrome plated 15mm copper tube (as used in plumbing) about
520mm in length and this was curved through 90° at one end (using a bending
spring).
It was then fixed with p-clips to a bracket fabricated from some 25mm angle
aluminium (see photo on left).
