Head take off

As we don't intent fitting a heater we removed the Mini heater valve that bolts to the top of the cylinder head and replaced with this simple plate/pipe. Using the standard Mini gasket we refit to the cylinder head and run the water pipe from this straight thru the heated inlet manifold and back to the top hose. If we find cooling is a problem we will add an electric fan and could also fit an additional radiator / heater matrix for extra cooling.
