Can you run it like this? It may be different tough, this one came with a special rubber bend to connect to the tap. I sold it and went back to a standard pipe in the end.

| Post subject: | Copper Heater Pipe and Twin Carbies |
Whilst cleaning up my garage over the weekend I found the copper heater pipe that runs behind the head. As I’m now running twin carbies with extractors, I no longer have the clearance to run it in its original position. How do others run this pipe, or is there one that was specifically designed to be used with twin carbies? Thanks, James. |

Hi Flute, Thanks for the photo, it looks like the way to go. Is that copper pipe a standard one or one thast was made up? What did Coopers do as standard? Thanks again, James. |

I'm not sure what Coopers did as standard, someone will help with that but my S just has a rubber hose as standard. This one came from a bloke on ebay in the UK but I looked him up and he is no longer an ebay seller. I remember when I bought it the ad said that the hard part to get was the U bend at the tap end so not sure if that is right or not. You could probably get the copper made up to suit but not sure about the rubber bend. Here is another version I just found on the net too.

On my Gt, there is just a rubber heater hose comes out as per photo's above and then goes along the firewall past my webber and into the heater outlet. No copper pipe just all heater hose. From memory that is how it was with twin su's on it as well |

The copper pipe was used with the Matic heater box (and the Morris 1100). The Cooper S didn't get a copper pipe. I have a copper pipe with the legs cut off on my car, it just slips between the manifold and the rocker cover and doesn't seem to rub too much. |
