From what I understand of the 914 heating system, the fan housing outlets have to be blocked off if I'm not running heat. Can anyone give suggestions on how to block these off? I could weld them up, but Im not sure about the material, and I'd like to be able to seperate the fan housing without grinding and rewelding.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) those outlets don't drive the *real* heat in a 914 anyways. that is done by the external blower in the engine comp. the one you start up when you move that red lever on the center tunnel. as soon as you do that, the pressurized air from that fan will close the little flappers on the housing outlets. this is done to avoid the big cooling fan sucking in hot air from the heat exchangers. i'd say, expoxy it close and be done with it ...
