Heater

I wanted the heater to be as good as possible, so I stripped it down to overhaul it. The panel is held on with pop rivets so has to be drilled off.

 

The old matrix can be slid out.

 

I chose to fit a new matrix because the old one was getting a but thin in places.

 

New sponge was fixed around the matrix to seal in to the casing.

 

The sponge turned out to be a bit thick, so it was trimmed to suit.

 

The matrix in place. The flaps and their insulating pads were found to be in good condition so I could leave them.

 

Then the cover was rivetted back in place.

 

After a little wiring repair, the heater assembly was painted.
