Evening all.
Just a quick question. Currently my heater hoses come out the bottom right of my heater, by the foot pedals. I keep catching them when using the clutch. If i turned the heater around 180 degrees, so the pipes come out of the top left hand side, would there be any problem with this? I would drill new holes in the other side and weld up the first holes and think it would just be neater, more direct route.

Cheers
Steve

I have reversed the pipes and matrix around by 180 degrees before with no problems........they do vary over the years anyway and between right hand drive and LH drive cars.
