Phil Horsley Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hi Guys, Some advice please, just refitting my TR250 and about to put in the heater bulkhead connector, a simple but 'doooh' question, which way up does it go, the bent tube at the top or the bottom, it's so long since I stripped her and in the schematic drawings it always seems to be hidden !!! Hope you can help out please TRaah for now Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peejay4A Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I'm pretty sure the bendy bit goes at the top on the inside of the car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
graeme Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 The bent one goes inside the car at the bottom pointing away from the heater unit. I have just done this job and used photos of my original car as reference. Cheers Graeme Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NickR Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hi, Very useful thread. I have just replaced the hoses and this bulkhead piece (as mine was very corroded and had sprung a leak). I see from that pictures are taken from major rebuilds with the dashboard out. Looking at the pictures the jubilee clip tightener of the top hose in particular is above the hose and points to the right. This was the same on my car when I came to do the job, but I did mine with everything in place, and just removed the "minimum" to get access. I could not get a screw driver onto the heads of some of the jubilee clips to remove the hose, so I had to cut them off. Fortunately, they were the old type with two wires so I could get a bolt cutter onto the wire and cut them off. When I put mine back, I have put the jubilee clips with the heads all pointing down so that i can get a screw driver / socket onto the head to do it up / undo it. Although it is presumably "wrong", can I suggest to anyone doing this, that they consider turning the hose clips so that access is available from below as it will make it much easier to get the hoses off if you ever need to do so.
