Lynn when i spoke with Nigel Watson i believe he said the vent system as pictured above was only used on Mk1's they changed it on Mk2 and later variations. i cannot comment further, merely passing on what i was told.

Lynn, I have no idea as to all Cnd ones being that way. I really only know Mk1 stuff.

Richard, If you could get me the tube size and fittings size also that would be great.

Thanks

right i measured my pipes "ooh err" and they appear to be 8mm OD steel construction. the nuts on the ends are steel and not brass as i had previously thought. i could not get a spanner to fit 1/2" was just too small and 9/16th was just too big. (i dont know what thread it is too)

here are some pics i did get.

In that case Richard the spanner size will be 1/4" Whitworth. I suspect they will be 1/8" BSP threads. Ron
