I can see the brackets that are spot welded to the longs (the bottom halves of mine have disintegrated along with the bottoms of the longs), but how are the J-tubes held in at the top of the long at the front (where it comes through the long and into the cabin) and at the firewall in the rear (mine appears to have brushed on seam sealer around it)?

The outer long cover has to be removed to take the heater tubes out, there is a bracket for each tube that must be detached inside the long, the brackets stabalize the tubes to attach to the air baffels inside the long, which are held in place by large circular clips.
Racers will remove these to save weight, they don't need heat. Mike |
