This heater hose it getting annoying. I know it shouldn't be that long.

Does anyone have a pic of how it should actually look?

Also, is the Hot/Warm/Cold control in the right spot? Should it be screwed/bolted to something?

Yes that heater tap is in the wrong place... The correct location for that heater tap is under the bonnet of a HZ holden. 8)
The Clubbie heater tap is a POS and they have replaced it with a Holden one. You may be able to mount it better (I doubt if you could mount it worse!) You may be able to mount it the other way up.

Yeah but just turn air off in summer, use the 1/4 windows. That's what they're for... :wink:

As said, Clubby tap is a right POS...

The Australian Morris 1100 heater does not have a tap. They use the heater for extra engine cooling. When you want hot air you open the flap to let the hot air in the car.

No it's not, if I remember it's in car like a Clubby...??
Clubby has air flap, just leave off unless you want heat. :wink:
Hey it's not like it's a UK one with those new-fangled fresh air vents..

Cooper S handbook used to say turn heater on if engine gets too hot..

Yeah, It is in the car under the dash. The air feeds in from the plenum through the top.

Let's just say that the heater's a whole lot freakin easier to get in than out!!! Well it was once all the extra hoses were gone.
