Cornish Rattler Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Hi guys Is there any difference between a 4 cylinder header tank and a V8 header tank as regards the hose that goes from the header tank to the bottom hose please 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I can't answer your question directly but there are definitely at least two types of brass header tank the 110 has a large bore lower hose around 22mm, the engine was a 2¼ diesel 1983. The ibex has one off a TD 1987 and the lower hose is around 14mm (the same size as the later plastic tank). Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Thanks mike, yeah i've got a series 2a that i converted to a tdi a few years ago and used the plastic tank with screw on cap that keeps leaking so i've decided to go to a brass tank and the one i've just bought is the one with the larger neck and need one woth a smaller neck 😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I think ours had a short bit of hose to a copper 22mm to 15mm joiner then on the the 200tdi bottom hose. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Yes i've just found some 22mm - 16mm hose reducers on line so i've ordered them along with some 22mm hose to join into the 16mm hose 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
