I'm ready to cut into the longs (good cond Cal. Car) and excavate the heater materials, just wondering where the best area is to open up. There will be new sheet metal welded back at the longs in the interior. It's a track car, no heat. Show me some pictures, or some of your experience is appreciated !

I pulled mine out thru the interior holes too. I wouldn't do it again. The ducts are paper wrapped with a wire spring with plastic ends on them. They weight less than 4 pounds and they are as low as you can get it the car.

QUOTE(URY914 @ Jan 17 2014, 02:24 PM)  I pulled mine out thru the interior holes too. I wouldn't do it again. The ducts are paper wrapped with a wire spring with plastic ends on them.

Plus, if you rip it out and for whatever reason someone wants heat in the car in the future, it's gonna be fun to explain. I have one of those heater tubes sitting in my shed - I can weigh it for you guys tonight if you're interested. |
