Was having a think today about putting my heater back into my mini and a couple of thoughts crossed my mind.

With reagrds to the water pipes I will be fitting some nice silicon hosing to my refurbed heater.

But then it occured to me that I will be putting back in the horrible looking black plastic piping to go the screen vents and also the incoming from the wing to the main inlet?

Could this piping all be replaced with some nice silicon piping in blue? What would be the drawbacks of using silicon?

If you dont want silicon i've started doing sleeves that slip over the duct hoses. They also come with two lengths of foam so you can wrap the hose before fitting the sleeve, to insulate the duct and try and keep that air warm!

I think i'll be selling them at just £5.99 a pair for the two sleeves and the foam wrap, in any colour you like!

There is someone on ebay doing silicon duct hoses. Can't remember prices or any other details though I'm afraid.

Would love to see some pictures of these!

The original stuff is probably the most suitable as it will push fit.
