At a guess, there is pipe that goes from the inlet manifold (by the alternator) to a banjo on the throttle body, then I bet the other goes from that banjo to the header tank. I dont have these on my LET but thats where I think they go.

The only thing i can find on my throttle body is the small bits that the breather goes onto :/

Oh and when you say banjo you mean......?

Look below where they are. If you can wait a few hours ill take a pic of a spare manifold I have at home. Do you have the free outlet out your inlet mani without a pipe on it?

something like that is what your looking for 
By banjo I mean a round metal fitting that has a open bolt going through it which allows fluid/air to pass through it. Do a search in google for one

Pipe 11 and 4 are what your two pipes are, from memory pipe 12 on yours is missing and has been bunged off on the cam cover and probably on the inlet manifold too

okly dokly, little update
it turns out i do have the waterway in my inlet manifold but i dont that the bit comeing off the bottom of the TB in the above pic
so thanks to a quick phone call to tim who told me to just make my own peice to connect to 2 pipes together from the waterway inthe mani to the header tank and a little bit of thinking i came up with this
basicly its a peice of steel pipe and the 2 pipes with some petrol pipe clips around it to hold them together, fits perfectly and is now connected up 
also my cars back on its feet for the first time in 3 months
however its got to go back up when i get my cv joints off tim

Coming along mate
The throttle cable might be better routed going under the inlet as it might rub against the bulkhead and throttle body where it is

only problem with it running underneath there is its quite a bend to get it round onto the bracket.
not sure if its too much of a bend, so much so it might give it a bit of sticky throttle if you get me?

I ran mine under there, I gave it the quickest route through and it feels how it did when it was on there originally

so when you say under the inlet would you mean inbetween the inlet branch and the block or between the back of the inlet and the bulk head just lower down?

I ran mine between the inlet and block as if I put it behind it felt like it was really sticky on the bend back in to the car
