Matt Sullivan Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 As the waistband expands, I need to trim the weight of my car down. Now I'm aeroscreened-up, removing the heater seems a good place to start. Is it as simple as it looks? Whats the best thing to do with the hoses from the submarine pipe and head... join them together? Anything I need to look out for? cheers, Matt.

EFA Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Matt, You can buy a steel blanking plate for the back of the head, and a rubber over (secured with a jub clip)for ths sub tube.

Matt Sullivan Posted April 22, 2002 Author Share Posted April 22, 2002 Cool. From Caterham? Vauxhall dealer or are they generic bits and pieces I can pick up from Halfords? cheers, Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFA Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 I'd suggest a VX engine builder..... Fat Arn Visit the K2 RUM siteid=red> See the Lotus Seven Club 4 Counties Area Website hereid=green> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Wong1697456877 Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 I plumbed the back of the head into the submarine - used a 90deg adapted from Halfords to get it to curve around properly without kinking. I've seen cars with it blanked off as well and they don't seem to come to any harm. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Sullivan Posted April 23, 2002 Author Share Posted April 23, 2002 On the phone to Caterham Parts yesterday (see separate post about Half Doors in Chitchat), I mentioned this to the guy. He didn't have a clue what I was talking about. Although he did say 'You'll probably get overheating problems'. 'I think not' I thought. Thanks, I'll have a play at the weekend. Matt.
