Heater valve

I spent a lot of time making a bracket for the heater valve, virtually finished it, then thought better of it. With the hoses attached to the footwell panel with cable ties and a locating hole in the panel everything is held rock solid & its a far simpler solution:

This time again I have 5/8" hose on the engine bay side for the take off, and 1/2" hose on the heater matrix side for its outlets:

In situ:

And the cold feed hose coming up to the bottom matrix fitting: 

Changes

The bend in the bottom hose as it leaves the matrix is tighter/sharper than I intended - I'm going to get hold of a 45 degree fitting for the matrix &  a 1/4" to 5/8" hose tail adaptor then re-fit to make things a little neater.
