I have an excellent copy of the catalog for Arnolt accessories. If
enough people need the info and pictures, I would consider scanning the
heater and or other pages. I also have a couple of sheets on Shorrock
superchargers which Arnolt distributed for a while. Also, there was a
special adapter which fit into the bypass hose which served the purpose
Geoff is talking about. I think I have a sample available for borrowing
so you can have one made, it's easy, I've made at least a dozen for
various customers. Jarl
