Does anyone have the Internal diamiter of the heater pipe that comes off the VTS engines.

Its the small pipe coming off the bottom of the thermostat plate on the block.

Ive read somewhere "16mm" but i am unsure if this is internal or outer diamater sizes, reason for asking is its for my water return from the turbo.. trying to get bits of steel to make it up, if anyone could help me find out - would be great, saves me draining it and having to piss about bleeding the system.

im gona just put a pipe in the line with a 10mm 90 degree pipe welded onto it so it can only really flow its way back into the system, or so the theory goes!

I thought that Danny

But I bought 16mm t pieces for my turbo conversion and had a right pain I the arise getting them ino the hose... So maybe worth confirming that fully before buying :y:

My pipes may have just shrank over the years with the heat :)
