Listers,

I am converting my 1977 MGB to dual SU HIF4s.  I am wondering how I should 
route the return hose for the heater/ZS water choke.  I have the older heater 
return hose that fits over the valve cover, but that does not fit the later 
model lower radiator hose in the car.  I have run the car with the dual carbs 
before with the ZS/heater return hose running on top of the heat shield and 
below the carbs, but that set up looks poor to me.  
Is there a lower radiator hose I can use with the top mounted heater return 
tube and the forward mounted radiator?  Or do I need to make some kind of 
extension tube to run down the front of the engine?  If I do decide to go 
with the ZS/Heater tube under the carbs, where can I find another one of 
those little "hose bibs" that blocks off the water choke return?  I had two 
that came with my choke conversion kit, but one leaked and I had to cut the 
other off when I changed back to the ZS to pass smog.

Thanks for you help!
