engine and drivetrain Wrong heater hose??

[Simeon]

Not clear why it would take such a circuitous route but I suppose it has flex in the engine mountings to cope with.

Yeah I can't work out why it goes around like that. Just got a response from WN saying the same that it needs to turn through 90 degrees.

Weird. My LHD tii hose doesn't look like that.

The rhd accelerator linkage runs across the bulkhead.

 

You can see it here on my tii;

 

 

Presumably the carburettor linkage is more complicated, hence the wacko shape. The real mystery is, why didnt BMW use a bowden cable. They seemed to have a rather closed mindset.

Interesting. Another difference I wouldn't have thought of but makes perfect sense when considering the different linkages. Going to wade into that in a few weeks when I seek to adapt a LarsAlpina replica TI carb linkage to fit a pair of Solex carbs. By current reckoning I need to release and reweld the bell crank lever about 90 degrees so that it points downwards at an angle vs pointing up to take into account the horizontal throw of the RHD linkage Vs the vertical of the LHD.

One day I will document all of the little differences between LHD and RHD.

Just came across  this Simeon.  Did you ever document the linkage differences?  I am interested in creating something that would work for RHD '02s using our ti-style linkage kits.  See below.
