Ok i know that there is a post on here about a very smart SU heater little adapter but I have now made my little pipe so that is not a option.
So I have a couple of thoughts.
I have one pipe coming from water rail if i coiled some pipe round adapter where would I tee the other end back into system ????
Or
What about a 12v heater from a pair of motorbike gloves atached to adapter ?????
What have the rest of you done.
Thanks In Advance

Its the old carb feed and return wrapped round it. Works fine. Probably be better with thinner pipe wrapped round more times.

Bugger :S

I would suggest teeing off the heater pipe (17) would be the simplest option.

I,am not sure where the 1600 carb model gets it's hot water supply from. I've seen the write up for the heater jacket and it shows it comes direct from the manifold IE: no hose and therefore ideally be built into the adaptor, but a coil is easier.
