Ive re-installed my heater tubes, but when i try to install my lower dash panels they clash with the tubes.
Have I installed the tubes correctly??
As an aside, has anyone replaced the originals with anything better?

I think you've got them the wrong way round. The 2 piece one goes drivers side so you can get it over the steering column. That's the tricky one to get in.

Appreciate the photos thanks. The tubes are the ones that came off the car, so I know they fit…
Ill have a play this weekend and see what I can do. Not sure if its a cab/tintop difference but it looks like you have a little more room that I do above the steering column, could be wrong of course.
Cheers

Probably overkill but doesnt do any harm….thought it might help reduce any potential leakage
