GD Heater Box.

Trigger,
Yes, conventional wisdom would put the hot water in at the top - but the hot water comes from the manifold and is "sucked back in" on the water pump.
The hoses are laid out this way just for neatness I think.


It works reasonably well, but not quite well enough for last Sunday night....
I went for a spin to test the MSD installation - with no roof on!
I ended up having to do an emergency stop, as the car in front of me went through a large puddle and covered my windscreen in icy water, which instantly froze solid on contact!

Tomorrow's job: Wideband Oxygen Sensor system.

Thought I'd add my tupence worth. I ended up removing the flanges, fixing rivnuts into the heater and repositioning the blower hoses fittings to their alternative position on the heater... Oh it was still a damm tight fit. Some of this was my own doing, as I'd already fitted the efi ecu on the passenger bulkhead before fitting the heater(w:} ) - but could of moved this if the heater fitting went according to plan. But when all is said and done, I wish the blinking thing had just fitted out of the box and didn't require quite so much buggering about. x(

Note to self: Must talk to Andy about these problems, not just post my rantings.

Oh well, back the the engine bay gel coat (don't you just love English winters...)

Have somehow fitted the heater box, with surprisingly little swearing. Had to use self tappers as there is no way I can get bolts through at the moment.

Bit concerned that I can't actually screw them in that far, but hopefully it won't fall off in the meantime.

Drive it like you stole it...
