What made me think about it was KC in Mini Experience says that by keeping the heater on it lowers the temperature at the back end of the block by 15-20* Now leaving the heater on in the UK may be OK but not sunny Queensland :wink:


You should also read his artice on minispares.com where he says that an oil cooler should never be used as a water cooler.

I'll work something out :roll: Hey Doc if the booster is under the dash does it still point forward or is it turned East/West? I had a brake person insist it has to point forward and I only assumed it had something to do with inertia on the piston.

Nah that is BS, the works ones were sideways I think, so was 13secmini's.
Pointy end should point upwards though so you can bleed it.

Somebody here has a Clubby with it mounted east/west under bonnet, it works.

mick makeller also has an 850 with the booster mounted in the boot. Dunno how effective the vacumn lines are over that distance, but it works.

Cheers
