Hi

I am after some of the corrugated heater air hose that comes from the wing to the heater. The previous owner of my 76 Clubby obviously decided to remove it. Can't seem to get any from local Mini places. Does anyone know anywhere else I can get some. Will anything from another car fit?

Cheers

Rick

i wnet to my local auto parts shop and got what they call the hotbox tubing that runs from he hotbox on the exhaust manifold and upto the air intake for the aircleaner so that it sucks warm air in the winter

the tubing expands and is made out of a heavy grade alluiminum foil so heat wont affect it expect to pay about 25-30 $ for it though :shock:

I've had the same problem in the past and found a convenient solution. Paid a visit to a vacuum cleaner store and bought a vacuum cleaner hose of the same diameter as the heater pipe. You end up with enough hose to fix three minis. Didn't cost all that much either.
cheers
