This an old thread but maybe it is better to add to it rather than start a new thread. I have recently mounted a small heater in my '29 roadster by making a (hidden) one-of-a-kind bracket to fit the Vintage Air Compact Heater to my aluminum plate firewall which covers the hole made when I cut out the big trans tunnel. The question here is where to put the hoses? The installation diagram shows one hose running along the right bank valve cover (facing forward) but the other lower hose going forward to the water pump. On my fendered '29 A that hose would lay on the inner panel where the hood edge would come down and be very close to the header. I have looked for pictures of roadsters with heater hoses but have not found any yet. The question has two parts.

1. If I bundle the two hoses together along the side of the valve cover, is there any sort of bracket to hold the hoses to keep them from contacting the header?

2. There needs to be some sort of "Y" at the water pump, any ideas for that pipe.
