So, I received my 1-1/8" silicon elbows and aluminum beaded couplers from China today and started mocking up a hose. It's a real beoch getting my hands in the firewall area with the SR20DET transplant in the way. But it looks like the original hose went down between the heater flow valve and the other heater core hose. It must have tucked behind the heater control valve cable. Then about a 45 deg over toward the passenger side of the tunnel, then about a 45 deg down. Is the clip on the face firewall of the side of the firewall facing the drivers side?


How about a pic of a firewall with clip on a car without motor.

Anyway - The silicon elbow approach is also reasonably viable. It fits through the grommet properly and is a tight fit on the spigot stub on the cowl

Here you go.

Curtis,

Are you sure those clips aren't for the brake lines or something else. Those clips seem way to high on the firewall to be able to catch the drain hose. I would have expected the clips to be very near the bottom. Am I smoking crack here??

Those are correct for my 67.5 1600

Here's the too big too fit hose in there.

Here is the 67 2 liter. I can tell you the 66 is in the same place.

Here's the 67.5 1600

It must route something like this then.

Almost, if you look at the pictures from Richard you'll see that it goes over a bit before turning down to the clip.

Yep I see that - A lil closer

Richard, Is there any way you can shoot a direct front and a direct side view picture of your hose. I can scale everything from there because I know the OD of the hose is 36.5MM

What do these brackets hold???

Those brackets don't appear to be present on Curtis' car. Very confused????????

Those brackets support the throttle cable. Painted black in my picture. In addition you can see that the throttle linkage runs up that way.

I thought that what this bracket did?
