[DeTomaso] Radiator Tube Insulation

[Julian Kift]

On the L cars the heater tubes go through the center console (I believe on earlier cars they may have been in the rocker). The usual way to prevent heat from these  is to install heater shut off valves in the engine bay just prior to where they enter the cabin.
