OFFICE MEMO Copper Pipe for Heater Hose and_ Date:6/15/93
Responding to Larry Pieniazek on "Heater Valve to Core hose for Series II E
type, Exhaust manifolds"
On my '74 XJ12, which sprung a leak on a weekend with no chance of getting a
correct hose, I made heater connector pipes from hardware store copper pipe and
90 deg. elbows, with a short straight hose at each end.
>>4.2 L series II exhaust manifolds have some broken studs already on the pipe
attachment points
Maybe you can extract these broken studs or get a good machinist to do it. I
did on my XJ12 and my XK120. New studs are available from the dealers. Use
brass or stainless nuts and Anti-Seize. It works for me.
The license plate on my work beater Volvo is "XJ12". Guess what used to be my
year-round car.
