Im going to be dropping the engine in my mini soon but not sure where the pipes are connected to. i.e. from the heater to where? I know you have the large one from the bottom of the rad to the water pump with a bypass hose to the hose but thats as far as i got. Also when connecting the brake servo (never had a servo before) does it connect to the intake manifold? I cant seem to find the connectors for the pipe to fit the manifold. Can anyone help?
Cheers

Heater hoses will poke through the bulkhead - one connects to the bottom hose the other to the cylinder head. The servo connects to the manifold with a 5/8 unf screw in adapter that will be common on lots of older british cars.

who can tell me how long the heater matric hoses should be on a mk1 and also how long the servo hose should be on a mk1 with twin carbs and the mk1 s servo.

i dont have an engine in the car, just a bare shell so not that easy to measure up.

going to try and get some silicone heater hose and some of the black and yellow servo hose but as both are rather pricey did not want to get more than i need.

i think the servo hose is 2ft long? correct
what lengths are the heater hose?

thanks
