Cooling hoses/manifold part(s)

[transexl]

Guten Abend zusammen

I tried to figure out what part I need from the Parts Catalogue or the reference section on RoverClassics, but I could not find it.
Maybe I can find out this way:

The flange (???) that is mounted on the rear side of the inlet manifold with two screws, where the coolant hose from the heater box is leading to, has rusted very badly. I will sand blast it, but it might be beyond a usable state.

Can I obtain that flange (???) seperately?

Also, there is another flange (???) BENEATH that one, under the manifold, with a longer tube protruding from somewhere "invisible", also for a coolant hose. This is rusted almost as bad, and both are leaking in my opinion.

I´d love to take it off to clean it - do I have to dismantle carbs and manifold to reach it?
Is that flange (??) an individual item available seperately?

I will state pics if necessary, but maybe someone can figure out what I mean?

DANKE!!

Yes. See here:

There are two different sizes.

That metal pipe runs along underneath the inlet manifold, and is secured to it. The inlet manifold would have to be removed to replace it. The inlet manifold can be removed without removing the carbs from it. That is also available separately.

Guten Tag Harvey

Quick, comprehensive, clear and to the point as always, DANKESCHÖN :!: 8)
I am still working on the battery holder, so you are WAY too early answering! :wink:

Thank you for the manifold hint!
That means that I had to "only" loosen all cables and tubes and the accelerator linkage, right? Still, some job I think ... :|

There will be no better chance for that in the near future with the air filter AND heater removed and the engine so clean, so I might HAVE to do it this year/month.

Anyways, good to know that these flanges ( -are they called that in English? Don´t even know what I would call them in Deutsch!) are parts that should be available individually (from the scrappers, right?)!

- Battery holder workover
- Reassemble and refit heater
- Dismantle manifold.

Sounds doable, in spite of weather getting better almost by the day... .

DANKE noch ein mal!

EDIT:
How could I have missed out on the flange in the drawing in the first place? It´s as plain as any nose on any face! Ridiculous!!!
